SiK Henry Clinton was now appointed to the chief
commaDd : this brave, zealous, and accomplished officer
had gained great credit by his services during the seven
years' war, and by his gallantry at Bunker's Hill: he,
however, was so circumstanced in America, that he was
able to add but httle to his reputation by hie efforts in that
country. He arrived at Philadelphia early in May. On
his march through the Jerseys, the troops were encum-
bered with an enormous quantity of baggage ; all the
bridges were destroyed, and the enemy followed close in
their rear.

The British army quitted Philadelphia on the eighteenth
of June, and crossed the Delaware. Clinton approached
the coast, to avoid crosing the Rariton. On the twenty-
eeventh he encamped near Freehold Court-house, in the
county of Monmouth. At eight o'clock next day he had
descended from the adjoining heights, with the intention of
continuing his retreat, when two columns of the enemy
were seen moving on both his flanks. Clinton attempted
to bring on a general action, and prepared for an imme-
diate attack ; but before it could be carried into execution,
the Provincials retired, and posted themselves on a rising

ground which they had previously occupied. They were ""'■
now iotreached ; and as the baggage obstructed the Eng-
lish, it became requisite that some decisive step should be
taken to prevent its capture. Chnton quickly made his
arrangements. The grenadiers with tlieir lefl rested on
the village of Freehold, the Guards were stationed on the
right of the grenadiers, and commenced the attack with
such spirit, that the enemy were put to flight. The Pro-
vincials were strongly posted in their second hne. Not-
withstanding the excessive heat and great fatigue the
troops had already undergone, this second line was also
attacked, and, after considerable resistance, broken by a
steady and intrepid charge. The enemy, thrown into
complete disorder, fled in all directions. At this moment
Washington came up with fresh troops, whom he ju-
diciously posted behind a ravine ; and by his arrival pro-
bably saved his advanced corps from destruction.' The
loss of the Americans, which exceeded that of the British,
amounted to three hundred and sixty-one men, including
officers. Colonel Trelawney of the Coldstream, and Cap-
tain Bellew of the First Guards, were wounded. No sepa-
rate return was made of the loss in men. Sir Henry
Clinton continued his march till the ba^age reached

three miles below the fort, with the intention of storming

the evening; afterwards tlie troops ad\Tinced, when the
enemy, to avoid being surrounded, retreated, leaving the
fort to General Mathew, who posted his men in a strong
position between Portsmouth and the south branch of
Elizabeth River, The Guards took possession of Suffolk,
the magazines, and stores. Detachments were sent to Nor-

up North River; part uDder Major-General Morgan
landed a few miles below Fort La Fayette, Sir Henry
Clinton proceeded to Stoney Point, wherehe disembarked:
this was a position, from its elevation, of considerable
strength; but being in an un6nished state, it was aban-
doned on the approach of the fleet. In the evening the
troops were landed, with a few heavy guns, which were
dragged up the hill during the night. About five o'clock
next morning a fire opened from the top of Stoney Point
on La Fayette, a small but strong fort on the opposite side
of the river: this cannonade, the investment by land, and
the attack from the vessels in the river, obliged the garri-
son to surrender. Orders were given to complete the for-
tifications at Stoney Point, troops were left for the de-
fence of the forts, and the fleet dropped down to New
York.

In July two thousand six hundred men under General
Tryon, with the flank companies of the Guards, embarked
for Newhaven, and sailed on the third. Before reaching
that place, Brigadier-General Garth of the Guards disem- J
barked with the first division of these troops. The inha-
bitants collected in great strength to oppose a march of
seven miles, which he was obliged to make to avoid a
creek. In defiance of an obstinate defence and increasing
numbers, be forced his way and took possession of the
town. Major-General Tryon with the remainder of the
troops landed on the other side, to secure a fort on the
high ^i)und which commanded the harbour. Garth re-
mained in Newhaven that night, and destroyed all the

expedient to dislodge the enemy, who were there filrougly
fortified, and amounted to three h^lod^ed men. The post
in question was not more than twenty miles fix>m the ad-

communication was made through Major-General Mathew
to the Honourable Lieutenant- Colonel Norton of the Cold-
stream, directing a detachment to be sent to Young's
House on sledges; but Lieutenant- Colonel Norton having
convinced General Mathew that the sledges would not
answer, he was desired to proceed, or not, according to
circumstances, and to use his own discretion.

In the evening of the second of February, Colonel Febmur.
Norton set out with four flank companies of the Guards,
two companies of Hessians, a few Yagers, some of them
mounted, and two ihree-pounders. This detachment

valry were ordered lo be ready to cut off the retreat of

currying the house. Forty men were found dead, and
ninety made prisoners. Tlie loss sustained by Lieutenant-
Colonel Norton's detachment was two killed and twenty-
five wounded.

Two days after this affair, it was thus noticed: —

During the autumn the American General Arnold, who
commanded a large force at West Point, on the North
River, betrayed the confidence reposed iu him by his
party. The secret correspondence between Arnold and
the British commander was carried on through the me-
dium of Major Andre, an English officer, who was seized
in disguise, when papers were found on his person which
clearly proved every particular of the transaction. He
was tried by a board of general officers, as a spy, and
condemned to be hanged.' The American General has
been censured for directing this ignominious sentence to
be carried into execution; but doubtless Major Andre was
well aware, when he undertook the negotiation, of the
fate that awaited him should he fall into the hands of the
enemy. The laws of war award to spies the punishment
of death. It would therefore be difficult to assign a rea-
son why Major Andre should have been exempted from
that fate to which all others are doomed under similar
circumstances, although the amiable qualities of the man
rendered the individual case a subject of pecidiar com-
miseration. The members of the court are said to have
wept when they passed the sentence-

made by Lieulcnant-General Knyphausen, who came in
frequent contact with the advance of Washington's army,
encamped at Moiristown. The principal action occurred
on the twenty-third of June, at Springfield, which place
was destroyed.' The first battalion of the brigade of
Guards was commanded by the Honourable Lieutenant-
Colonel Cosmo Gordon of the third Guards; and the
second battalion by Lieutenant- Col on el Schutz of the
Coldstream. Owing to mismanagement, the affair did
not terminate so favourably as was anticipated. The loss
of the Guards was: "Killed, none; wounded. Colonel

The passage was gallantly led by the brigade of Guards
under Brigadier-General O'Hara of the Coldstream:
these troops crossed with the greatest steadiness, and,
although exposed to a galling fire, reserved theirs till they
reached the opposite bank. The light iniantry of the
Guards, led by Lieutenant-Colonel Hall, first entered the
water; they were successively followed by the grenadiers.

Od the left the Twenty-third and Thirty-third regiments
were supported by the grenadier and second battahon of
Guards. The hght infantry of the Guards and Yagers
were posted in the wood on the left of the artillery, and
behind them the cavalry were stationed, in order to take
advantage of any circumstances that might occur. The
troops advanced with steadiness and resolution across the
plain. At about one hundred and forty yards the enemy
opened their fire, but the British still moved on in perfect
order, reserving theirs till the word of command was given ;
after which they charged. The enemy did not await the
shock, but retreated behind the second line, which made
more resistance, and kept up a brisk fire that did great
execution; but this hne at length gave way. Owing to
the extent of the American position, the reserves were
brought forward, and the first battalion of Guards^ imme-
diately formed on the right. The Thirty-third regiment
being exposed to a gallina fire, and outflanked, moved to
the left, when the interval was immediately filled by the
grenadiers, the second battalion of the Guards and Yagers.
In consequence of this extension of the British front so
much to the right and left, broken intervals appeared

many impediment front the inequality of the ground, the
thickness of the wood, and an obstinate resistance. The
aecond battahon of Guards first gained the open space at
Guildford Court-House, and " glowing with impatience
to signalize themselves," ' attacked the Americans, though
greatly superior to themselves in number, quickly routed
them, and took two six-pounders. Unfortunately, how-
ever, whilst in the ardour of pursuit and in some conse-
quent confusion, they received a destructive fire from a
body of Provincials, and being charged by Washington's
dragoons, were driven back with much slaughter, and lost
the two guns which they had previously captured. The
artillery then came up, and opened a fire which checked
the pursuit of the Americans. The Seventy-first and
Twenty-third regiments at the same time penetrated
through the wood. General O'Hara quickly raUied the
second battalion of Guards, when the enemy were again
defeated and the two guns retaken.- The Americans then
commenced their retreat; which was conducted with great
r^ularity. Two regiments which, with the cavalry, had
been sent in pursuit of the enemy, were recalled.

General Green, the American commander, who bad

It having been determined to carry the war into the
Southern Colonies, the troops under Lord Cornwallis ar-
rived at Petersburg on the twentieth of May: they then
crossed the Roanoke, Meberrin, and Nottaway rivers, on
their route, with but little opposition. Here they found
detachments under the command of Generals Phillips and
Arnold, the latter having deserted the insurgents.

danger,' and desiring that part of his forces might be sent
to join him without loss of time. Cornwallis prepared to
comply with the order ; and as it was impossible to remain
longer at Williamsburg with so small a force, determined
to pass James River and retire to Portsmouth. He there-

I- fore marched from Williamsburg, and took up a position
which covered the ford to the island of James Town, where
the Queen's Rangers, witlt the carriages and baggage,
crossed. La Fayette, under the impression that the main
body of the troops had passed, advanced by forced marches

. in hopes of falling on his rear-guard. To strengthen this
supposition, Cornwallis, already informed of his approach,
ordered the piquets in case of attack to retire. La Fayette
having crossed a morass with about fifteen hundred Ame-
ricans and some artillery, formed in front of the British
position. The English then advanced in two lines, and
after a sharp contest succeeded in taking the enemy's
cannon. The Americans fled in great confusion; and had
not the day closed, probably the whole detachment would
have been destroyed.

Cornwallis then passed James River, and forwarded
the troops intended for embarkation to Portsmouth. On
reaching that place it was found by no means a desirable
post; he therefore left it, and on the twenty-second of
August concentrated his force in York Town and Glouces-
ter; which he fortified, being the only places capable of
affording protection to ships of the line.

Washington had long projected an attack on New York,
and Clinton had reason to suppose this plan was finally
settled. In June Washington marched to White Plains,

beau, with the French troops from Rhode Island. In the
middle of August dispatches arrived from the Count de
Grasse, which informed the two commanders that he
should enter the Chesapeak witli his deet towards the end
of the month. The American and French generals deter-
mined to attack Lord Comwallis, and communicated their
inteotions to the Count de Grasse, tliat he might be aware
of them on his passage. Every artifice was tried to de-
ceive Sir Henry Chnton with regard to this project.

In the mean time Arnold had taken and destroyed New Scpiunbei.
London, putting to death all the troops which had de-
fended it. The attack on New London did not make any
alteration in the plans of the combiued French and Ame-
rican forces, who marched through Philadelphia, and pro-
ceeded to the Elk River, at the point of its confluence with
the Chesapeak, where transports were waiting to receive
them. On the twenty-fifth of September they landed at
Williamsburg, and were joined by La Fayette and St.
Simon. They left Williamsburg at the end of the month, SeptT^

finished works. During the night of the eleventh, Wj
second parallel was opened by the enemy within three ]
hundred yards of the works: to retard their progress the
garrison kept up an incessant lire, and caused a severe loss.
Two redoubts erected in front particularly annoyed the
assailants; but on tlie night of the fourteenth they were
carried by storm, one by the French, the other by the
Americana, in the true spirit of emulation, Sicknees, and
the shot of the besiegers, caused the British to suffer
much. A sortie was made with two hundred and fifty
men under Lieutenant-Colonel Abercrombie, with the hope
of impeding the formation of the second parallel, against
which it was evident the new works on the left could not
stand long, as the guns had been already silenL'ed. This
force, composed of detachments from llie Guards and gre-
nadiers of the Eightieth regiment, under Lieutenant- Colonel
Lake of the Guards, with some light infantry under Major
Armstrong, was ordered to carry the two batteries that
appeared in the greatest state of forwardness. They suc-

. ceeded in forcing the redoubts, spiked eleven heavy guns,
killed and wounded about a hundred of the French tvoopa
who guarded them, and returned within their lines, having
sustained only a trifling loss. The enemy, however,
carried on their advances with such activity, that they
mounted one hundred pieces of ordnance in battery, which
effectually prevented the British from showing a single

midnight prevented this plan from being put into execu-
tion. From the dilapidated state of the works, httle

sail till the nineteenth, the day Lord Comwallis sur*
rendered. Clinton put to sea, determined to make the
most vigorous efforts for the relief of Comwallis, and was
confident of success. The mortification he expeneoced on
Oct. f4tli. arriving off the Capes of Virginia may be conceived, whom
he received intelligence which induced him to believe
Comwallis had capitulated. Convinced that his informat
tion was correct, and knowing the French ^ fleet exceeded
the British, he decided on returning to New York, as the
relief of York Town and Gloucester had been his only
object.

chief command, from which time hostilities ceased, and no iras.
event worthy of notice occurred between the hostile armies
in the vicinity of New York.

Negociations then terminated an ill-conducted and dis-
astrous war, of which the entire odium was thrown on the
Court by a faction that in this country excited and en-
couraged the Colonists to appeal to arms. Had the Ad-
ministration of that day permitted the Provincials to work
their way to independence by the sure but more insidious
process of assembling a Parliament of their own, under
the specious pretence of taxing themselves, there can be
little doubt that the same faction would have ascribed the
loss of America to a want of political foresight in the
King and his advisers. Whenever a Colony has acquired
sufficient strength to establish its independence, it may be
expected to do so, as the grown-up son withdraws himself
from the control of his father; but the period of colonial
maturity is not easily defined, and the symptoms must be
more strongly marked than they were in the instance of
North America to justify a Government, bound to protect
the rights of the mother country, in tamely relinquishing
her dominion without a struggle. To judge fairly of the
difficult and distressing situation in which the Court was
placed, it is necessary to recollect that a strong opposing
party at home was on the watch to attach blame, what-
ever course had been adopted ; and that in point of fact
the Colonists, far from presenting the means of successful
insurrection, were only torn from England by the inter-
vention of France, Holland, and Spain.

Conditional articles of peace were ratified between Nov. dotb.
Great Britain, France, Spain, and America, when the
thirteen provinces were declared independent.

encamp on the plains of Gascogne — Coldstream go into St. Pe-
ter's barracks at Ghent— Duke of York returns to England.

The NuIIi Secundus Club was instituted on the fourth of
March y 1783. The propriety of establishing a club in a
regiment has been questioned. As a general observation,
it may be admitted that clubs are not in unison with

gentlemanly cordiality at table, and soldierlike obedience

John Earl of Waldegrave was bom in 1718. He

ginated in an observation made by His Royal Highness, i789.
that Colonel Lennox had been addressed by an individual
at the club at Daubigney's in a manner that no gentleman
ought to permit. The observation being reported to
Colonel Lennox, he took the opportunity on parade to in-
quire of his Royal Highness what were the words which
he had submitted to hear, and by whom they were
spoken : to this his Royal Highness gave no other answer
than by ordering the Colonel to his post. The parade
being over, his Royal Highness went into the orderly-
room and sent for Colonel Lennox, when he intimated to
him, in the presence of the officers of the Coldstream, that
he desired to derive no protection either from his rank as
a Prince, or his situation as Commanding-officer; and that
when off duty he wore a brown coat, and was ready as a
private individual to give Colonel Lennox the satisfaction
required by one gentleman from another. After this de-
claration. Colonel Lennox wrote a circular to every mem-
ber of Daubigney's Club, requesting them to inform him
whether the words, as stated, had been addressed to him,
and desiring an answer from each member by the follow-
ing morning; adding, that he should consider their silence
on the subject as an acknowledgment that no such words
could be recollected. After the time named for an answer
to his circular letter. Colonel Lennox sent a written message
to the following purport : — " That not being able to re-
collect any occasion on which words were used towards
him at Daubigney's, that ought not to be addressed to a
gentleman, he had taken the step which appeared most
likely to gain information on the subject to which his
Royal Highness had made allusion, and of the party by
whom they had been used : — that none of the members
of the club had afforded him any information, and

coDseciueiitly. that no such insult had been offered hint
to their knowledge; and therefore he expected, in jus-
tice to his character, that his Royal Highness would con-
tradict the report as publicly as it had been asserted by
his Royal Highness." This letter was delivered to the
Duke of York the saine day by the Earl of Winchelsea.
His Royal Highness's answer not proving satisfactory, a
message was sent by Colonel Lennox to appoint a meet-
ing; the time and place were then settled.

The following is the account given by the seconds of
the affair. in consequence of this misunderstanding, his
Royal Highness the Duke of York, attended by Lord
Rawdon, and Lieu tenant- Colonel Lennox, accompanied by
the Earl of Winchelsea, met at Wimbledon Common.
The ground was measured twelve paces, and both parties
were to fire together. Lieutenant- Colonel Lennox's ball
grazed his Royal Highness's curl, but the Duke of York
did not fire. Lord Rawdon then interfered, and said " he
thought enough had been done;" when Colonel Lennox
observed, " that his Royal Highness had not fired :" Lord
Rawdon replied, " it was not the intention of the Duke of
York to fire; his Royal Highness entertained no animosity
against Lieutenant- Colonel Lennox, and had only come
out on his invitation to give him satisfaction." Colonel
Lennox wished the Duke to fire, which was declined,
with a repetition of the reason. Lord Winchelsea then ex-
pressed a hope that his Royal Highness would not object
to say he considered Colonel Lennox a man of courage
and honour. His Royal Highness replied, that he should
say nu such thing : he had come out with the intention of
giving Colonel Lennox the satisfaction he demanded, but
did not mean to fire at him; if Colonel Lennox was not
satisfied, he might have another shot. Colonel Lennox

THE COI,DSTRK-»M GUAHl 3-

declared that he could not possibly fin> again, as his
Royal Highness did not mean to return it. The seconds
signed a paper stating that " both parties behaved with
the most perfect coolness and intrepidity."

Lieutenant-Colonel Lennox called a meeting of the o
cers of the Coldstream, to deliberate and give their opimoa
whether in the late dispute he behaved as became aa
officer and a gentleman. After much discussion, they
came to the following resolution: " It is the opinion of tlie
Coldstream regiment, that subscc]uently to the fifteenth of
May, the day of the meeting at the orderly-room, Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Lennox has Lehaved with courage; but,
from the peculiar dilScuUy of his situation, not with judg-
ment."

The unusual, if not unprecedented, occurrence of a
Prince of the Blood, and one go near the throne, volun-
tarily placing his life iu such imminent peril, created at
the time a strong sensation. The House of Brunswick is
remarkable for courage ; and bravery is so much the
characteristic of this family, that there certainly was no
necessity for his Royal Highness to have met Colonel Len-
nox. He went there, however, from pure gallantry, to
give his antagonist satisfaction, by permitting him to have
his fire, but with the determination not to return it.

At this period Necker's folly or treachery in giving the
democratic party a double representation among the aasem-
bled stales of France brought about the revolution, and
involved all the great European Powers in a succession
of destructive wars. The Court, feeble, dissipated, and
alarmed, was unable to withstand its new and violent op-
ponents, whose encroachments were at length consum-
mated by the unjustifiable trial and death of an amiable
and innocent king.

the brigade of Guards.

In consequence of General Dampierre's repeated attacks May.
on the Prussians, the Guards were greatly harassed, and
constantly kept under arms in readiness to move. At mid-
night, on the seventh, they left their cantonments at Orcq,
near Touma y, and proceeded to the camp of Maalde, where
they halted at day-light, and joined the Austrian and Pnia- ^iiy aih.
sian infantry; the former were ordered to dislodge the
enemy from St. Amand, and also to drive them from the
wood. In the afternoon the Duke of York marched
through St. Amand, which place had been obstinately
maintained, as appeared from the ruined and dilapidated
state of the buildings and the dead lying in all directions.
The Coldstream Guards advanced to the forest, where they
halted till the arrival of the Prussian General Knobeladorf,
who rode up, and, with a smile, said in broken English,
" that he had reserved for the Coldstream Guards the
*' honour, the special glory of dislodging the French from
" their intrenchments in the forest; that the British troops
" need only show themselves in the wood, and the French
" would retire." He however omitted to state, that the
Aiistrians had been three times successively repulsed, with
the loss of one thousand seven hundred men, and General
Knobelsdorf proposed for the Coldstream the honour of
performing with six hundred rank and file what five thou-
sand Austrians had not been able to accomplish. The fact
was, that on the failure of the Austrians, application had
been made to General Knobelsdorf for some fresh bat-
talions from the Prassian army, which requisition he im-
mediately made over to the Duke of York. The Cold-
stream, under Colonel Pennington, was moved towards the
wood of Vicogne, the Prussian General accompanying
them himself along the chaussee. On arriving at the
skirts of the wood, he pointed to the entrance and gal-

loped off. The enemy's redoubts eommandcd the chaus-
see leading to the wood of St. Amaiid, and on the approach
of the right companies of the Coldstream, who had nearly
closed on the flying enemy, a tremendous fire was opened
within pistol-shot by guns b heeled from a battery concealed
in the bushes and underwood of the forest. On passing a
temporary bridge over a broad ditch, the two right com-
panies under Colonels Bosville and Gascoyne lost, in ten
minutes, more than half their numbers, and retired to the
skirt of the wood. So sudden was tlieir onset that the
last division had scarcely crossed the hedge-row, separa-
ting the chaussce from the wood, when the two leading
companies found themselves under a destructive fire. The
left wing did not lose a man.

In this action the French General Dampierre lost his
thigh by a cannon-ball, and died next day. Ensign

^ neral Knobelsdorf having been under the necessity of
' sending a considerable part of his troops to support the
' Austrians at the Abbaye de Vicogne, his Royal Highness
' about five o'clock left two battalions in the camp at
' Mauldcy and marched with the Coldstream, the flank

* battalion, and that of the Third regiment, to his sup-
' poit. When the battalion of the Coldstream, which was
' upon the left, arrived, the enemy had nearly reached the

* road ; they already commanded it to a great degree by

* their fire ; the guns attached to the battalion were
' placed upon it, and, by a well-directed and well-sup-
' ported fire, kept the battery which was opposed to them
' in check, and did considerable execution.

^' The battalion advanced into the wood, attacked and
' drove the enemy before them : in going forward they be-

* came unfortunately opposed to the fire of a battery, from

* which they suffered severely. They fell back to their
' position at the edge of the wood, which they maintained

* for the rest of the day, notwithstanding a heavy can-
^ nonade. The enemy made no attempt to approach them.

tified camp of Famars.

On the twenty-third of May the Duke of York led the Miy
first column, consisting of sixteen battalions of English,
with some Hanoverian and Austrian troops. Afler a can-
nonade, the hussars crossed the Hoxelle, without oppo-
sition, at the village of Mershe, and on the advance of a
body of infantry, which would have turned the batteries,
the enemy retreated to a redoubt they had constructed
behind the villus of Famars. General Clairfait also
attacked the French stationed on the heights of Auzain,
which were obstinately defended ; but at length the Aus-
trians gained the post. This success enabled the Prince
of Cobourg to complete tlie investment of Valenciennes ;
the camp of Famars being occupied by the English and
Hanoverians. The redoubt behind Famars was held till
night, when the enemy abandoned it and retired across
the Scheld.

The siege of Valenciennes was entrusted to the Duke of
York, who carried it on with great vigour.'

pauies of the Coldstream during the siege was two rank

thirteen rank and file, wotuided ; one rank and file died
of his wounds. The flank battahoii lost four rauk and
file killed ; two Serjeants, eighteen rank and hie, wounded :
three rank and file died afterwards. The town capitu-
lated on the twenty-eighth, and was taken possession of by
the Duke of York, in the name of the Emperor of Ger-
many: this political error rallied into unanimity tiie hitherto
hesitating inclinations of the French people. A detach-
ment of the Guards occupied the gate of Cambray.

Conde had already surrendered, and the garrison were
made prisoners of war, aflerasiege of three months, during
which they had been much reduced by famine and disease.

On the twenty-ninth a reinforcement of about six hun-
dred men under Lieutenant-Colonel Tad Watson of the
Third Guards joined the brigade; amongst them were
three light infantry companies, one for each of the regi-
ments of Guards: the company belonging to the First
regiment was commanded by Lieutenant- Colonel Ludlow,
that of tlie Coldstream by Lieutenmit-Colonel Eld, and
that of the Third Guards by Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell;
these companies joined the flank battahou, and completed
it to eight companies.

the twenty-fifth instant, hned the road from the Cambray
gate to Briquet, when the garrison of Valenciennes marched
out for the purpose of laying down their arms.

On tlie sixth of August tlie Coldstream proceeded to- Augusi.
wards Cambray, and encamped about two leagues to the
westward of that fortress. Some days afier the Austrians
had taken possession of Valenciennes the French were
obligeil to quit their strong position behind the Scheld ;
and Cambray was summoned.'

At a council of war it was agrefni, in opposition to the
opinion of the Prince ofCobourg and of General Clairfait,
that the army under the Duke of York should separate
fiom the Austrians. The British, in consequence, broke
□p, and marched on the fourteenth of August on their route
to Dunkirk, the siege of that fortress having been de-
termined on for the purpose of replacing it under the do-
minion of England. The Guards passed Toumay on the
fifteenth, Lannoy on the sixteenth, and halted next day,
with the exception of the 6ank battalion, which encamped
near a village called Ghehns. On the eighteenth his Au«. laih.

On the twentieth the Gnards passed through Ypres, and
encamped next day near Furnes; from whence the Duke
of York proceeded on the twenty-second in pursuit of the
enemy to Ghievelde: on his approach they abandoned
their position, and his Royal Highness was enabled at
once to take up the ground which he intended to occupy
during the siege of Dunkirk. The Guards encamped to
the left of the canal, the flank battalion on the right.

A general attack was made on the out-posts between the
canal of Furnes and the sea. The flank battahon forced
their way through deep ditches full of water, and strong
double hedges, driving the enemy into the town.

Among the killed was Lieu tenant- Colon el Eld of the
light company of the Coldstream, with eight rank and file:
one beutenant, twenty-five rank and file, were wounded.

The Hanoverians, meanwhile, under Marshal Freytag,
with an army of ohservatiou of twelve thousand men, kept
in awe the garrison of Bergnea and the camp at Mont-
Cassel.

When the committee of pubUc safety heard of the se-
paration of the Duke of York's army from the Auatrians,

On the evcniog of the sixth the enemy mode a sortie
from Dunkirk; their attack was priDcipally directed
against the right, but was gallantly sustained by the
first brigade: the Fourteenth regiment suffered severely.

Houchard had arrived with strong re in force me nta for
the relief of Dunkirk: he attacked Freytag's position, by
whom a partial retreat was eftected. The following day
the attack was renewed, and General Watmoden was
obliged to give way, with the loss of three hundred men
and three guns. In this action his Royal Highness
Prince Adolphus, since Duke of Cambridge, and Marshal
Freytag were wounded, and for a short time made
prisoners.

The loss of the battle of Hendtschoote obhged the Duke
of York, after some sharp out-post fighting, to abandon the
siege, leaving from forty to fifty pieces of heavy cannon,
baggage, and military stores behind.

The Coldstream marched through Aven Capelle, Dix- S
muyde, and Rousselaer, towards Menin, when the troops
encamped.

HoBchard was arrested -by order of the French repub-
lican government, and sent to Paris. The charges pre-
ferred against him were — First, that after defeating the
English he did not drive Uiem into the sea. Secondly,
that he sent no succours to the troops butchered at Cam-
bray. Thirdly, that he abandoned Menin, and in his re-
treat exposed his army to considerable danger. Hou-

chard was found guilty on these charges, and guillotined
at Paris, November fifteenth, 1793.

There is no reason to suppose that Houchard was defi-
cient in fidelity to his employers, or zeal for the cause in
which he was embarked ; this commander seems to have
been the victim of low cruelty and ignorance. At that
period the French armies were numerous, but badly or-
ganized, and without generals of experience. Houchards
troops had repeatedly been defeated ; and when the loss
of the battle of Hendtschoote induced the British to relin-
quish the siege of Dunkirk, It did not by any means fol-
low that they were unable to make good their retreat.
Napoleon, it is tnie, delighting to play the Jopiter-Scapin
in public, instructed his Marshals to drive the English
into the sea ; and often told his soldiers, that no such
word as impossth/e existed in the French language : but
that accurate judge of military affairs never put his gene-
rals to death for not accompHshing what he knew to be
impracticable. The nninstructed and atrocious Jacobins
in France, who had possessed themselves of the powers of
government when Houchard was sent to the relief of Dun-
kirk, little qualified to distinguish between a retiring and
a ruined army, conceived that because the Duke of York
abandoned the siege, nothing remained for the French ge-
neral but to destroy him. Whether the second and third
charges against Houchard were better founded cannot
now be ascertained with certainty; at the utmost, they
rather afford evidence of incapacity than of treachery and
cowardice. Allowing them to be established, it must be
admitted that the French commander was unfit for his
situation, and that the interests of the cause he had un-
dertaken to uphold required his dismissal : few persons
however are forward in discovering their own deficiencies ;
and to a dispassionate mind the question naturally pre-

sents itself, how far those who employ a general of doubt- 1793.
ful efficiency are less culpable than the individual they
send forth at a venture to risk the lives of thousands in
his probation. If the emigration had left the Jacobms no
tried commanders at their disposal, the fact may perhaps
be pleaded to excuse their making the hazardous selection,
but will hardly justify the condemnation of Houchard to
the guillotine for not being a man of intuitive genius.

On the seventeenth of September the following order
was issued: —

" The Commander-in-Chief thanks the troops for the
" spirit with which they have gone through their late
'^ fatigues and distresses occasioned by long and rapid
" marches."

Quesnoy was taken by the Austrians, and the enemy
defeated at Villiers en Couche. The Prince of Cobourg
crossed the Sambre, and drove the French into their
intrenchments at Maubeuge ; while Marshal Clairfait
threatened Cambray and Bouchain.

The Brigade of Guards marched through Menin and Oct. loth.
Courtray to Peck, a village niear Toumay, where they
halted two days ; they then proceeded to St. Amand, and
encamped between Quesnoy and Landrecy. The troops
returned on the twenty-third by the same roads they had
before passed.

About the end of October the Third Guards with a de- Oct.f8th.
tachment of the Fifteenth light Dragoons attacked the
enemy at Lannoy, and after two hours' fighting, succeeded
in driving them from the village. From the twenty-ninth
of this month to the eighth of November, the Coldstream
was encamped on the plains of Grascogne ; on the follow-
ing day the campaign ended, and the Guards marched
into barracks at Toumay. In December the brigade of Dec. i4th.

England, amounting to eight hundred men for the brigade,
of which two hundred were for the Coldstream.

A council of war assembled at Ath. It was proposed
that Marshal Clairfait should take the command of all
the auxiliary forces, and that the Duke of York should
act under his orders.^ After a month's delay, it was de-
cided that the command should be given to the Emperor,
April 9th. who arrived at Brussels.

A general movement was made throughout the army;

where, on the heights abore Cateau, he reviewed the
whole army, amounting to one hundred and eighty-seven
thousand men, consisting of Austrians, British, Dutch,
Hiuioverians, and Hessians. At the conclusion of the
review, the Guards pitched their tents for the first time
this year*^

On the f(dlowing day, as the enemy were in force about
Cambray, the army advanced in eight columns. The
fourth and fifth were under the Duke of York. One of
the columns under the immediate command of his Royal
Highness was intended to carry the village of Vaux.
Major-General Abercrombie commenced the attack, sup- April trtb.
ported by the grenadier companies of the First Guards
under Colonel Stanhope, who stormed and gallantly took
a battery. At the same moment three battalions of
Austrian grenadiers occupied the wood, and made them-
selves masters of the works which had been constructed.
Nine camion were taken during the day by the column
under the Duke of York, Sir William Erskine was also
successful with the troops under his orders, and gained
possession of the redoubts and two pieces of cannon.
The Coldstream lost four men killed, and one wounded.
The village of Vaux having been plundered, was set on
fire: the Duke of York was obliged to move to the
battery that had been taken.

their route through Cateau, and were posted on the
Cambray road.

It being determined to lay siege to Landrecy, the direc-
tion of it was given to the Prince of Orange, whilst the
Emperor with his army protected the operations on the side
of Guise, and the troops under the Duke of York covered
Cambray. General Worms was stationed near Douay and
Bouchain. Count Kaunitz defended the Sambre, and
Clairfait held Flanders from Toumay to the sea.

On the twenty-third the Duke of York drove the enemy
from Csesar's camp near Cambray, Some days after this
the heights of Cateau,'^ which the British occupied, were
attacked; but the enemy were repulsed with the loss of
thirty-five pieces of cannon, and three hundred officers
and men taken prisoners.'

' The following order was issued b; hia Royal Highneaa the
Duke of York, April I9lh, 1734 :

A large body of the enemy who attacked the Duke of i794.
York near Toumay was defeated. On this occasion Ge-
neral Harcourt, Major-Greneral Dundas and Sir Robert
Laurie distinguished themselves.

The Emperor at length determined on making a general
and simultaneous effort to drive the French out of the
Low Countries. For this purpose five columns of troops
were ordered to advance; two of them were unable from
fatigue to arrive in time;^ the others on reaching Moucron
found the enemy too strong to be attacked, and retreated
to Turcoin. The column led by the Duke of York,* Mayiath.
composed of seven English, five Austrian, and two Hes-
sian battalions, with ten squadrons of cavalry, forced the
enemy to evacuate Lannoy; the troops then halted. They
afterwards proceeded to Roubaix. General Abercrombie
pushed on with the four battaUons of Guards, and found
the enemy strongly intrenched ; they were cannonaded for
some time. The fiank battalion of Guards then advanced
with the greatest regularity to storm, supported by the
Seventh and Fifteenth Light Dragoons, who gallantly

the morning of the seventeenth the enemy attacked Tur-
coin ; the same day a column from Lisle, and another
corps, forced their way through General Otto's position at
Waterloo, and assailed the rear of the British. When the
advance parties from Lisle showed themselves between
Roubaix and Mouveaux, it was impossible for the Duke
of York to join the brigade of Guards. Abercrombie was
directed to retreat by Roubaix, at which place the troops
were to assemble, and the Coldstream had been posted to
cover the communication. On reaching the height* of
Roubaix, his Royal Highness was beset on all sides for
three miles by repeated attacks of the enemy's artiileiy and
cavalry; he therefore continued his retreat to Lannoy.
Finding that place in possession of the French, he went
round the town under a heavy fire, and made his way
Ai»y irih. through the fields to Templeuve. Major-Gencral Fox was
attacked by the Lisle column, and also retreated; but as
his communication with the brigade of Guards and Launoy
was cut off, he joined General Otto. In this action
Lieutenant-Colonel Gascoyne was wounded. The Cold-
stream lost one drummer, and fifteen rank and file killed,
wounded, and missing.

During the conflict at Turcoin," the brigade of Guai-ds
and the heavy cavalry remained as a reserve in the camp
at Templeuve, and continued under arms all night.

The position occupied by the British extended from the
Sclield to the Orchies Uoad, and was secured by redoubts
covering the front and flanks.

The Prince of Orange drove the enemy from Charieroi,
befOTC which town they had broken ground.

Soeb was the immerical superiority of the Freach, i79«.
arisiiig ftom their compulaatoiy system, that when coe
corps of troops was beaten, its pUce was inmiediately
occupied by another.

At day-hieak on the tweuty-secoud of May, Pich^m
with two hundred thousand men commenced a series of
attacks on the position of the Allies: his troops ad?anoed
under a heayy fire of artillery; and after many unsuc-
cessful eflbrts, haring made no impression on the line, he
was obliged, late in the CYening, to retire. Major-General
Fox and the second brigade made themselves coqspicuous
by the spirited manner in which they stormed and carried
the village of Pontechin.

The sentiments of hostility entertained by the ruling
party in the enemy's Oovemm^it against this country were
so ferocious, as almost to exceed beUef in the present day.
The French Jacobins declared Mr. Pitt, the British Prime
Minister, an enemy to the human race. They issued an
order to their armies that no quarter should be given to
the English or Hanoverians ; an injunction scarcely to be
paralleled in the darkest and most barbarous days of
ancient warfare. This order was received with merited
contempt by the brave men who composed the French
armies; it was sent to the Republican troops with the fol-
lowing address: —

*' England is capable of every outrage on humanity,
'^ and every crime towards the Republic. She attacks the
** rights of nations, and threatens to annihilate liberty.
How long will you suffer the slaves of Geoige to con-
tinue on your frontiers, the soldiers of the most atro-
'^ cious of tyrants ? He formed the Congress of Pilnitz,

*^' " events of battle should place in your power either Ei^-
'^ lish or Hanoverians, bring to remembrance the vast
** tracts of country English slaves have laid waste. Carry
** your views to La Vendee, Toulon, Lyons, Landiecy,
*^ Martinico, and St. Domii^o; places still reeking with
** blood, which the atrocious policy of the English has
^* shed. Do not trust to their artful language, which
'Ms an additional crime, worthy of their perfidious
** character and MachiaveUan government. Those who
" boast that they abhor the tyranny of George, say, can
** they fight him? No! no! Republican soldiers: you
" ought, therefore, when victory shall put in your power
'^ either EngUshmen or Hanoverians, to strike; not one of
" them ought to return to the traitorous territory of Eng-
" land, or to be brought into France. Let the British
" slaves perish, and Europe be free ! "

The Duke of York immediately noticed the sanguinary
decree in terms worthy of his character and his country.

" General Orders, Jane 7th.

^^ government as the most calamitous of any that has yet
'^ occurred in the history of the world, has just passed a
decree that their soldiers shall give no quarter to the

'* addresses, upon receiving tliis information. His Royal
•' Highness desires, however, to remind them, that mercy

*^ character; and exhorts them not to suffer their resent-
** ment to lead them to any precipitate act of cruelty on
** their part, which may sully the reputation they have
'' acquired in the world. His Royal Highness believes
** that it would be difficult for brave men to conceive that
^^ any set of men, who are themselves exempt from sha-
^* riag in the dangers of war, should be so base and
*' cowardly as to seek to aggravate the calamities of
^' it upon the unfortunate people who are subject to their
** orders.

** It was indeed reserved for the present times to pro-
'* duce to the world the proof of the possibility of the
** existence of such atrocity and infamy. The pretence
for issuing this decree, even if founded in truth, would
justify it only to minds similar to those of the members
*^ of the National Convention. It is, in fact, too absurd
'^ to be noticed, and still less to be refuted. The French
'' must themselves see through the flimsy artifice of an
** intended assassination, by which Robespierre has suc-
'' ceeded in procuring that military guard, which has at
** once estabUshed him the successor of the unfortunate
** Louis, by whatever name he may choose to dignify his
'^ future reign. In all the wars which from the earliest
** times have existed between the English and the French
** nations, they have been accustomed to consider each
^* other in the light of generous as well as brave enemies,
'* while the Hanoverians, for a century the allies of the
former, have shared in this reciprocal esteem. Huma-
nity and kindness have at all times taken place the
instant that opposition ceased ; and the same cloak has

*' been frequently seen covering those who were wounded,
'^ and enemies, whilst indiscriminately conveying to the

hospitals of the conquerors.

OS ORIGIN AND SEIIVICES OF

" The British and Uanoveriaa armieB will not believe
" that the French nation, even under their present infatu-
" ation, can so far forget their characters ae soldiers, as
" to pay any attention to a decree, as injurious to them-
" selves as it is disgrECeful to the persons who passed it:
" on this confidence his Royal Highness trusts that the
" soldiers of both nations will confine their sentiments of
" resentment and abhorrence to the National Convention
" alone; persuaded that they will be joined in them by
" every Frenchman who possesses one spark of honoiir, or
" one principle of a soldier: and his Royal Highness is
" confident that it will only be on finding, contrary to every
" expectation, that the French army has relinquished every
" title to the fair character of soldiers and of men, by
" submitting to, and obeying so atrocious an order, that
" the brave troops under his command will think thein-
" selves justified, and indeed under the necessity of
" adopting a species of warfare, for which they wdl stand
" acquitted to their own conscience, to their country, and
" the world : in such an event the French army alone
" will be answerable for the tenfold vengeance which will
" fall upon themselves, their wives and their children, and
" their unfortunate country, already gi-oaning under every
" calamity which the accumulated crimes of unprincipled
" ambition and avarice can heap upon their devoted
" victims.

" His Royal Highness desires these orders may he
" read and explained to the men at their successive loU-
" callings."

To the credit of the French troops, neither officers nor
soldiers carried the brutal commands of the Convention
into execution ; many of the superior officers positively
refused to enforce the decree, and it was generally dis-
regarded by their army.

THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS. 59

The Princes of Cobourg and Orange, with General ^T94.
BeauheUy attacked Oeneral Jourdan, who was strongly
posted near Flenms. This action continned till nearly the
close of the day, when the Allied army was repulsed at
all points. They took advantage of the night and re-
treated on Marbois and Nivelle, in the hope of reaching
Namnr.

The Duke of York, finding it impossible to form a JnMSficb.
junction with Clairfait, retreated through Toumay tp
RomanXy where the troops under his command encamped
till the third of July, when reinforcements arrived from Jsiy.
England and landed at Ostend.

Tile four light infantry companies of the battalions of
Onards at home embarked for the Continent on the fifth
of July. The light infantry of the sec(Mid battalion of the
C(Mstream consisted of Captain and Lieutenant-Colonel
John Calcraft, Lieutenants and Captains John S. Stewart,
and Cteorge Hart Dyke, five Serjeants, five corporals, two
buglers, and one hundred and fifty-four privates.^

As the French occupied the country about Ostend, it
was necessary for Lord Moira, who led the reinforcements,
to make his way through all opposition and endeavour to
join the Duke of York: this, by a rapid movement, he
effected at Malines. Joiy Pth.

Toumay, Ghent, and Ostend, all fell nearly at the
same time into the hands of the French.

The light companies of the Guards, with a detachment
for the Coldstream, arrived on the seventeenth : the light
companies joined the flank battalion, now increased to
twelve companies.

The troops marched through West Wesel towards Ro- July 23rd,

tion took place during the night of the thirtieth, when the
Oci 3ut. Coldstream moved through Yoondon by Eelst, and
arrived on the sixth of November at Sandyke.

The Duke of York had previously returned > to Eng- it95.
land, in consequence of which the command devolved on
General Walmoden, who had to contend with a victorious
army greatly superior in numbers.

The brigade of Guards passed the Leek a second time
cm the tenth, and moved next day to the right of Rhenen.

The Allies were attacked and forced, and the Austri-
ans abandoned Huessen, while the Hanoverians retired
across the lingen. At Rhenen the French were kept in
check for a considerable time, and subsequently repulsed
by the brilliant and spirited stand made by the brigade of
Guards in conjunction with the infantry of the Prince of
Salm. During the night the English retreated to Voort-
hnizen, taking with them their sick and wounded, with
the exception of three hundred, who were left behind and
treated by the French with great humanity.

The sufferings of the army during this retreat, in the
severest part of one of the coldest winters known for some
years in Holland, were of the most serious nature; the
state of the sick and wounded was dreadful; many were
frozen in the wagons and perished. The sixteenth of
January was a day peculiarly memorable for the hardship
and distress endured by the troops on their retreat to De-
venter. The men had marched at the usual hour, and
about three in the afternoon reached Welaw, where it was
intended to halt for the night, but circumstances were
such as to make it necessary to prolong the march fifteen
miles further. The troops, besides suffering from the
severity of the weather and from fatigue, had obtained no
rations during the day. The march was continued for
about four miles over a sandy desert. The wind being
excessively high, carried with it drifted snow and sand

brigade of Guards were stationed.

In taking a retrospective view of the campaign, the
British troops will not be found deficient in their accus-
tomed steadiness in the field, and habits of subordination
and military discipline. From their manner of living, and
Ifae abundant supplies furnished by the commissariat
department, they are seldom exposed to great privations.
But when the want of food or clothing is experienced, as it
was in this campaign, or when the men, without sufficient
'•hdlter, are subject to hardships from the inclemency of the
•seasons, those evils are usually borne by them in a man-
ner that evinces the superiority of the British soldier. The
troops behaved, throughout the campaigns of 1793 and
1794,^ with a spirit that did them infinite credit, and
tBfpemUly during this arduous retreat.

The Coldstream lefl Bremen on the eleventh of April,
anived at Willsdorf on the thirteenth, and embarked at
Biemenlee next day on board the Bellona and Loyal
Briton transports. Afler a tedious voyage, the first bat-
talion was landed at Greenwich, and marched to their May 9tb.

1796. An expedition to Ostend, under General Cootc, com-
posed of about twelve hundred men, and the eight light
companies of the First,' Coldstream, and Third Guards, was
fitted out for the purpose of destroying the basin, gates,
and sluices of the Bruges canal, tuid intercepting the navi-
gation between Ostend and Holland.

The command of the light infantry battalion devolved
on Colonel Calcraft of the Coldstream, captain of the light
company of the second battalion, Colonel the Honourable
Edward Finch, who commanded tlie light company of the
first battahon, having been accidentally wounded at a
field-day on Barham Downs previous to the embarkation.

The transports sailed from Margate on the fourteenth of
May, and as early as five o'clock on the morning of the
nineteenth the troops, with artillery, miners, and every
requisite, were on shore. About ten o'clock the sluice-

ordered to re-embark ; but the surf and wind had so much i79B.
increased, that to leave the shore became impracticable.
General Coote, under these circumstances, thought fit to
sunmion Ostend^ to surrender, and received for answer
^'That the garrison must be first buried under the ruins."
Coote then attempted to intrench himself on some sand-
hills near the coast Early on the morning of the twen-
tieth he was attacked by several columns of the enemy ;
and after some ineffectual endeavours to contend against
superior numbers, the troops surrendered as prisoners of
war, when they were marched from Ostend through Lille
into the citadel. The officers belonging to the two com-

John Calcraft, Captains Thomas Armstrong and Wil-

though it could only tend to keep up the flame of discord
between hostile countries by adding the irritation of private
injury to national conflict. It is to be hoped that civiliza-

too well understood, to permit the recurrence of such acts
of folly, inhumanity, and wasteful expenditure.

THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS. 67

At this time the grenadier battalion, composed of eight 1799.
companies, four from the First, two from the Coldstream,
and the same number from the Third Guards, with the
third battalion of the First Guards, formed the first brigade
of Guards under Major-General D'Oyley. The first bat-
talion of the Coldstream and that of the Third Guards
under Major-General Burrard formed the second bri-
gade.

In July, by the military arrangements entered into
between the Confederate Courts and Great Britain, it was
agreed that a diversion should be attempted by sending an
expedition to invade Holland, in conjunction with twenty
thousand auxiliaries to be furnished by Russia. Early in
August twelve thousand men assembled on the coast of
Kent, and an equal number were preparing to meet at the
same point.

The brigade of Guards under Major-General Burrard
left the camp at Barham Downs for Sandwich. They Aog. 7tb.
embarked at Ramsgate on the twelfth, and sailed with the
first division under Sir Ralph Abercrombie. Contrary
winds prevented the English fleet, commanded by Lord
Duncan, from reaching the Texel till the twenty-seventh.
The disembarkation, which was covered by Vice-Admiral
Mitchell, took place near the Helder Point. The troops
had scarcely begun to move forward when the right was
briskly attacked by a considerable Dutch force under
General Daendels: the attack was repeated with fresh
troops, but the enemy were repulsed after a severe contest,
and retired to a position two leagues further in the rear.
Towards the close of the day Major-General D'Oy ley's
brigade of Guards was brought into action, and suffered
some loss. The Coldstream lost seven rank and file
wounded, one missing. The casualties among the men
of the two grenadier companies are necessarily omitted
during the campaign, as they were not separately stated

1799. from that of the battalion of grenadiers. Late at night the
garrison of a fort at the Heldcr Point, consisting of nearly
two thousand national troops, withdrew. Next morning
the works were occupied by the British.

The passage of the Texel being opened, the Dutch fleet
lying near the Vlieter surrendered to Admiral Mitchell.
In the mean time, till the expected reinforcements should
arrive from England, Sir Ralph Abercrombie intrenched

Sept. i8t. his troops in the peninsula of the Helder. The British
were in position along the Groot Sluys of the Zype, with
Oude Sluys on Zuider Zee on the left, and Petten on the
North Sea on their right. Abercrombie, apprised of the
enemy's intention, took the necessary precautions.

Sept. loth. At day-break the French and Batavians attacked the
intrenchments in three columns, on the right and centre.
One of the enemy's columns, composed of Dutch, com-
manded by General Daendels, moved on the village of
St. Martin; a second under General de Monceau, also
composed of Dutch, moved on Crabbendam and Zyper
Sluys ; the French left assailed that part of the position
occupied by the brigade of Guards under Major-General
Burrard. They were received with determined courage,
and every where driven back. About ten o'clock the enemy
retreated towards Alkmaar, leaving many killed and
wounded, one gun and a number of waggons and pon-
toons.

Sir Ralph Abercrombie in his dispatch says, " It is im-
*' possible for me to do full justice to the conduct of the
" troops. The two brigades of Guards repulsed with
** with great vigour the column of French which had
*' advanced to attack them, and where the slaughter of the
** enemy was great."*

nary, Sept. IC, 1799. No. 15182.

THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS. 69

This affair cost the enemy one thousand killed and i799.
wounded, and the Allies about two hundred.

The loss of the Coldstream was one rank and file killed,
eight wounded. After the action the army re-occupied its
position.

The Duke of York landed in Holland, and took the com- Sept. i3Ui.
mand of the army. Soon after the Russian contingent
and all the forces destined for the expedition arrived, when
it was determined to commence offensive operations.

Two hours before day-break on the nineteenth all were Sept. 19th.
in readiness to attack the lines of General Brune in front
of Alkmaar. The right column consisted of twelve Rus-
sian battalions, the Seventh Light Dragoons, and General
Manners's brigade under the Russian General d'Herman,
extending to the sand-hills on the coast near Cam perdown,
where part of the enemy had posted themselves most ad-
vantageously. The next column was commanded by
Lieutenant-General Dundas, and consisted of two squa-
drons of the Eleventh. Light Dragoons, the two brigades of
Guards, and Prince William of Gloucester's brigade.
Two squadrons of the Eleventh Light Dragoons and the
brigades of Major-Generals Don and Coote formed the
third column, under Sir James Pulteney . The left column,
under Lieutenant-General Sir Ralph Abercrombie, was
composed of two squadrons of the Eighteenth Dragoons^
and the brigades of the Earl of Chatham, Major-General
Moore, and the Earl of Cavan ; besides four battalions, one
of grenadiers, and one of light infantry of the line,
and the Twenty-third and Fifty-fifth regiments under
Colonel Mac Donald. The intention was to outflank both
wings of the enemy. Sir Ralph Abercrombie was detached
to Hoom in rear of the Dutch, who formed the enemy's
right. The first brigade of Guards moved from Taten-
hoorn and Krabendaw, on the left of the Alkmaar canal, to
co-operate with the corps under Major-General Sedmorab-

Guards, under Major-General Borrard, was to keep up
the communication vrith the column under Sir James Pulte-
ney. General Herman attacked the^ front and left of the
enemy's line, which gave way; the Russian column, how-
ever, was placed in a critical position. From having ad-
vanced too far, they were nearly surrounded, and the village
of Bergen, which had been for some time in their occu-
pation, was retaken by General Vandamme at the point of
the bayonet. The Russians had given themselves up to
plunder, and being unsupported, were, after a gallant con-
test, almost destroyed. Had they shown on this occasion
as much discipline as intrepidity, they might have retained
the ground they had gained. General Herman was made
prisoner, and General Esseu dangerously wounded.

The right wing of the Batavian army under General
Duendels was opposed to the British, who maintained
their position till past twelve p. m., when they retired in
consequence of the defeat of the Russian column. The
J)ukc of York endeavoured to repair the disorder occa-
sioned by tlieir misconduct, and immediately attacked the
village of Schorel with General Manners's brigade, sup-
|H)rted by three Russian battalions, the brigade of Guards,
and the Thirty-fifth regiment, commanded by Prince
William. As all attempts to retrieve the disaster at Ber*
gen proved inefiectual, after carrying Schorel, the Com-
mander-in-Chief withdrew his left. Sir Ralph Abercrom-
bie also quitttnl the post of Hoom during the night, and the
two armies resumed their former positions.

The British in this encounter lost one hundred and
twenty killed, four hundred wounded, and five hundred
missing. The French stated their loss to be one hundred
and fifty kille<l, and three hundred wounded. That of the
Hussiuns was considerable.
The casualties in the Coldstream were, Lieutenant-

Reinforcements of upwards of four thousand Russians
landed at the Helder on the twenty-sixth, and marched to
join their main body.

The inclemency of the weather compelled the contending
armies to remain opposite each other till the second of October.
October, when the Duke of York attacked the enemy's
lines. *' The points where this well-fought battle was
" principally contested, were from the sea- shore in front of
" Egmont, extending along the sandy desert, or height,
'* above Bei^en :"* the contest was severe, and continued
from six o'clock a. m. till the same hour in the evening.
Sir Ralph Abercrombie commanded the right, Lieutenant-
General Dundas the centre, and Major-General Burrard
the left. Afler a gallant resistance the enemy were totally
defeated, and retired in the night from their ground on the
Lange Dyke, the Koe Dyke at Bergen, and from their ex-
tensive range of sand-hills between the latter place and
Egmont-op-Zee to a still stronger position at Beverwick,
three leagues from Haarlem.

The victory was attended with a loss of more than two
thousand men; that of the enemy exceeded four thousand
killed, three hundred prisoners, seven pieces of cannon,
and many tumbrels.

The British took possession of Alkmaar ; and on the sixth Oct. 3rd.
the Duke of York, knowing the enemy expected reinforce-
ments, thought it expedient again to attack, and, if possi-
ble, to force them to retire " before they had an oppor-

^79J^- tunity of strengthening by works the short and very
defensible line which they occupied/' The British and
Russians first gained possession of the villages of limmen
and Baccum. The enemy advanced, and the action became
general along the whole line from Limmen to the sea, and
continued with great obstinacy on both sides till dark, when
they retreated, leaving the Confederates masters of the field.

The following is an extract from his Royal Highness the
Duke of York's dispatch, dated " Head-Quarters, Alk-
maar, October 7th, 1799 : —

'* Nor ought 1 to omit the praise due to Colonel Clephane,
*' commanding four companies of tlie Third, and one com-
'* pany of the Coldstream regiment of Guards, who by a spi-
'^ rited charge drove two battalions of the enemy from the
'* post of Archer Sloot, making two hundred prisoners."

The loss of the Allies was two thousand five hundred
and fifty-five killed, wounded, and prisoners. The Cold-
stream lost one man killed, thirteen wounded, and three
rank and file missing.

The Duke of York ascertained tliat since the second,
the enemy had been reinforced by six thousand infantry,
and their position at Bevcrwick considerably improved.
These were obstacles which it would be necessary to re-
move previous to making any attempt on Haarlem. The
enemy had also detached a strong force to Purmirind,
which, if the Duke of York's army advanced, would be
left in his rear. His Royal Highness, therefore, taking
these circumstances into consideration, together with the
want of supplies of every description and the impracticable
state of the roads, judged it advisable to withdraw from
his advanced position, and wait for further instructions
from England.

Subsequently the Allies concentrated in their intrench-
mcnts within the Holder Point. Alkmaar and Iloorn

were again occupied by the enemy, who nearly surrounded iTV^?.
the Allied camp. In face of the French army it would
have been dangerous to attempt to re-embark : on the
other handy the English had it in their power to cut the
dykes, which would devastate the country. A convention
was therefore signed on the eighteenth of October, which
provided that the British and Russian army should em-
bark as soon as possible without committing any injury,
and that eight thousand French and Dutch prisoners of
war, then detained in England, should be restored uncon-
ditionally to their respective countries.

The army commenced their re-embarkation on the
twenty-second. The first battalion of the Coldstream
landed at Yarmouth on the thirty-first, and marched to
their quarters in Upper Westminster. The grenadier bat-
talion, in which were the grenadier companies of the
Coldstream, disembarked at Ramsgate.

the resources of the country and of all its strong-holds,
Tvhich had been fortified with the utmost skill and care.
Eighteen months' occupation had inured the French to
tlie burning suns of Egypt, which had become their
adopted country, and they confidently prepared to repel
tlie meditated attack. The British were strangers to that
ungenial climate, and laboured under all the debilitating
consequences of a protracted voyage and long confinement
on ship-board: but without pausing to calculate disad-
vantages, they cheerfully proceeded to accomplish their
country's errand.

MHr^Vat ^^ ^^y previous to anchoring in Aboukir Bay it was
' given out that the brigade of Guards was to be in the first
line.

The following order was issued on the fourth of
March : —

" The troops will hold themselves in readiness to land
*' as soon as the weather permits. The first division that
'^ disembarks, consisting of the brigade of Guards, re-
" serve, 2** battalions of the Royals, and 64*** regiments,
" will carry their blankets and three days' provisions, and
*' will leave their knapsacks on board."

Mar.i'th. The Weather was unfavourable; but becoming more
moderate at two o'clock on the morning of the eighth, the
first division, consisting of the reserve under Major-Ge-
neral Moore, the brigade of Guards under Major-General
the Honourable James Ludlow, the Royals, the first bat-
talion of the Fifty-fourth regiment, and part of the second
battalion, with some other detachments, the whole being
under the command of Major-General Coote, got into the
boats and pushed off for their rendezvous, some hundred
paces from the shore. Each flank was protected by light
armed vessels, and several bombs and gun-brigs were

moored with their broadsides to the beach. At nine laoi.
o'clock the signal was ji^ven. About two thousand French
were advantageously posted on the top of some sand-hills;
the centre of their position was nearly two hundred feet
above the level of the sea, on which were planted twelve
pieces of cannon. These guns» as well as the castle of
Aboukir, commanded the landing. When the boats ap-
proached, they were assailed with grape and musketry
from the shore. The reserve jumped out of their boats,
formed y and pushed forward: the Twenty-third and
Fortieth regiments gallantly charged the height, and kept
advancing to the two hills in the rear. The Forty-second
regiment gained the summit, notwithstanding a heavy dis-
charge of grape-shot, and the opposition of a considerable
force of infantry : on reaching the top, they were charged
by a body of dragoons, who were however repulsed. On
landing, the Guards were suddenly attacked by the same
dragoons, who had rallied. The Fifty-eighth regiment,
which had already formed on the right, opened a fire,
under cover of which the Guards were enabled to show
front, when the enemy's cavalry suffered greatly. The
Fifty-fourth regiment and Royals reached the shore at the
moment when a hostile column was advancing against the
left of the Guards: on perceiving them, the French gave
one discharge and retired. The heights were then occu-
pied by the British, and. General Coote with the Guards
coming up, the French retired behind the sand-hills.

The loss of the enemy amounted to nearly four hundred ;
that of the British to seven hundred and forty-two men.
In the Coldstream the casualties were. Ensign Warren
and seventeen rank and file killed ; Captains Plunkett,
Frederick, Beadon, and Myers, Surgeon Rose, eleven
Serjeants, one drummer, and fifty-seven rank and file

their wounds.

Aboukir Castle^ still held out: it was blockaded by
the Queen's regiment and the Twenty-sixth dismounted
Dragoons.

Mar. 9th. The British troops were ordered to make a moyement
in advance: the next day they approached the enemy,
when some skirmishing took place. On the eleventh
the following General Order was issued : — .

" The army will advance to-morrow ; the brigade of
** Guards marching from the right will lead the first co-
** lumn: they will proceed along the road near the sea-
*^ beach, facing the redoubts of Mandora to the left."

Mar. i^tb. Sir Ralph Abercrombie next day moved to Mandora
Tower, where the army encamped. The light troops of
the enemy engaged the piquets nearly the whole march,
which did not exceed four miles. The French, having
received reinforcements from Cairo and Rosetta, had in-
creased their strength to about thirty guns and six
thousand men, including cavalry.

Mar. 13th. On the thirteenth the enemy occupied a strong position
on a rising ground, the ascent to which was gradual;
their right extended towards the canal of Alexandria, their
left to the sea. Abercrombie, whose troops were in two
lines, formed them into columns of battalions, left in front,
with the intention of attacking the enemy's right. When
the British advanced, the French moved down from their
position, and directed a spirited fire of musketry and
artillery on the Ninety-second regiment. The enemy's
cavalry at the same time charged the extreme right, and
came in contact with the Ninetieth regiment, commanded

by Colonel Graham, since created Lord Lynedoch. This .,^*^*:,^
corps with undaunted courage awaited their approach, and
at the exact moment threw in a volley, which obliged the
French cavalry to swerve to the right previous to their
flight. The English formed in two lines, the reserve in
column on the right. The Guards supported the centre.
General John Stuart's and Doyle's brigades moved in co-
lumn in rear of the left. All preserving the greatest order
steadily advanced under a heavy fire of artillery and
musketry. The French were forced to retire through a
plain of three miles to their lines in front of Alexandria.

The English lost twelve hundred and eighty-four killed
and wounded ; the French about five hundred, with four
guns. Ensign Jenkinson of the Coldstream was killed,
and Captain Beadon wounded ; two rank and file killed,
and four wounded. Major-General Cradock distinguished
himself; it was principally owing to his excellent arrange-
ments that the enemy's cavalry was repulsed. The French
Colonel Latour Maubourg was dangerously wounded.

Lieutenant-Colonel Brice of the Coldstream Guards
commanded the piquets on the fourteenth, when he was
attracted by some firing, and, proceeding to the spot, was
wounded and taken prisoner,^ and died two days after.

The British troops in every encounter from the time of
their landing had shown themselves decidedly superior to
the French. Their position was about four miles from
Alexandria, with the sea on their right flank, and the
Lake of Aboukir on the left. In front of the centre a
considerable plain extended as far as the elevated ground

Twenty-eighth and Fifty-eighth regiments were posted
among some ancient ruins and redoubts on the right, sup-
ported by the Twenty-third, Fortieth, Forty-second, and
the Corsican Rangers. Between the right and the right
centre, occupied by the Guards on a rising ground » was a
flat, on which there were some cayahy. From the hill
where the Gruards stood the line ran obliquely to the left,
at the end of which two batteries were intended to be con-
structed, and were in a state of forwardness. On the left of
the Guards the Ninety-second, Second, Fifty-fourth, First,
Eighth, Eighteenth, Ninetieth, and Thirteenth regiments
were stationed in Echelon, ready if necessary to form on the
Guards. The second line was composed of the regiments
of Minorca, De RoUe's, Dillon's, the Queen's, Forty-
fourth, Eighty-ninth, Twelfth, and the Twenty-sixth dra-
goons.

The troops under the French General Menou, recently
arrived from Grand Cairo, occupied a strong defensive
position on some steep hills. In front of their right ran a
strip of land joining the canal, which occasioned the
left of the English to stand in the oblique position before
described.*
Mar. 2i8t. An hour before day on the morning of the twenty-first
of March, General Menou, with his army increased to
thirteen thousand men, and about equal to the Eng-
lish, made a false attack on the left; but the report of
musketry soon announced that tlie right was the point he
really intended to assault. The British awaited the
enemy's approach with great composure ; the latter ad-

Pi^et and Houstoun, however, whose regiments held the
key of the position, would not permit a shot to be fired
till they were close at hand, when the troops were ordered
to open their fire, which obliged the French to retreat.
The enemy then wheeled to their right for the purpose of
surrounding a redoubt ; a second column attacked in firont,
and a third penetrated the ruins before mentioned. At
this moment Colonel Crowdjye with the Fifty-eighth, after
two or three rounds, rushed on them with the bayonet;
this chai^ was supported by the Twenty-third. The
Forty-second seized the opportunity, and advanced in the
most gallant manner to cover the open space at which the
column had entered, who after great loss surrendered.
The Twenty-eighth, the Forty-second, and Fifty-eighth
regiments, and the flank companies of the Twenty-third
and Fortieth under Colonel Spencer, greatly distinguished
themselves. General Stuart came up with his brigade,
which quickly threw the enemy into disorder, and at length
forced them to a precipitate flight. It was at this critical
moment that Sir Ralph Abercrombie received his mortal
wound.^

At day-break a strong column of French grenadiers,
supported by a line of infantry, attacked the position oc-
cupied by the Guards, whose skirmishers were driven in.
The enemy's intention was to turn the left flank of the bri-
gade, all the troops being placed in 6chelon. On the
near approach of the French, several companies of the left
battalion were thrown back. By a steady and incessant
fire, together with the advance of General Coote's brigade,
they completed the confusion of the enemy, who had already

confiQed to the right and centre. General Menou, finding
all hisattempts unsuccessful, retreated, after a last effort to
carry the position by a chaise of cavalry under Brigadier-
General Roize,' supported by General Regnier with the
divisions under Lanusse, Rampou, and Friant.

The loss of the English was fourteen hundred and sixty-
four men. Between three and four tfiousand French were
left on the field of battle. The casualties in the Cold-
stream Guards were, seven rank and file killed, one seijeant,
fifty-two rank and file wounded.

ooosiderably retarded the landing. When the troops
were on shore, a position was taken along a ridge of quar-
ries about half a mile broad, at the foot of which was a
sandy plain that extended to the sea ; the breadth of this
peninsula did not exceed two miles. There was a small
island opposite the western division, on which stood Fort
Marabout. On the evening of the eighteenth, General
Coote advanced about two miles and occupied a position,
the Guards extending across the quarries ; the rest of the
troops formed en potence, facing the sea.

At six o'clock P.M., after the guns of Marabout had Aug.nst.
been dismounted by the batteries, the garrison capitulated.
The Coldstream had two rank and file wounded.

against the redoute des Bains. After dark Lieutenant-
Colonel Smith with the Twenty-sixth regiment and some
dragoons, supported by Lieutenant-Colonel Layard, air
tacked and drove in the left of the enemy's piquets in the
most spirited manner with the bayonet, the men not having
even loaded their muskets. The batteries continued firing
on the eastern side of the town till twelve, when the
enemy's fire ceased ; it was soon discovered that they had
withdrawn their nuns. In the evening an aid-de-camp of
(leneral Menou presented a letter ut the advanced posts,
proposing a suspension of hostilities for three days, with a
view to settle terms. An answer in the alErmative was
returned^ and all hostilities were to cease, on the French

dered at Cairo, the enemy were no longer in possession of
any part of Egypt; and the object of the expedition being
attained, Lord Cavan delivered to the Captain Pacha the
keys of the city of Alexandria. The army shortly after Sept. 26th.
prepared for embarkation.

Blame has been attached by some French writers to
General Menou, for not opposing the invaders with his
whole force. It may also have accorded with the selfish
poUcy of Buonaparte, that the odium of an unsatisfactory
termination to an enterprise planned by himself, should be
ascribed to mismanagement after his departure. But
threatened by the approach of the Indian army under Sir -
David Baird, and embarrassed by the questionable fidelity
of the Egyptian population, Menou doubtless felt the
necessity of leaving a considerable force at Cairo. Well
aware that the British on their debarkation must enter the
field subject to many disadvantages, he met them with an
army equal in numbers, and superior in artillery and
cavalry. Such comparative means Buonaparte himself
would have deemed sufficient to face and overthrow the
veterans of Austria in his Italian campaigns; nor, had he
been in Egypt at the period of the battle of Alexandria,
would he have allowed it to be said, that to enable his
boasted invincibles to attack the Islanders with success> it
was necessary to bring against them an overwhelming
superiority of twice their numbers. Menou at that period,
Uke his great master in the art of war^ had no conception
of the qualities of British troops ; but he knew that he had
under his command the celebrated army of Italy, which
had victoriously contended against the finest armies of the
European Continent. With this experience of Austrian
warfare, and with a well-founded confidence in his men,
Menou challenged his antagonists to a combat on nearly
equal terms, and was, to his great surprise, defeated.

THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS- 87

The treaty of Amiens put an end to hostilities in March, isos-
Daring this peace Buonaparte was miade President of the
Cisalpine Republic. Louisiana, the Duchy of Parma, and
the Island of Elba, were ceded to France by the private
treaty with Spain. An amnesty was granted to all emi-
grants who had not borne arms against the revolutionists ;
Buonaparte had been declared First Consul for life, and
was empowered to appoint his successor. The Legion of
Honour was instituted by him for the encouragement of
miUtary, navaU and scientific men, and also of those most
eminent in the administration of afiairs.

On the twelfth of May the English Ambassador quitted May.
France, and hostilities between England and the French
Government recommenced. The First Consul threatened Mty isth.
to invade England, which created considerable alarm, and
the nation was placed in a state of defence. The British
Government seized all the French ships they could find,
making the crews prisoners. Sixty thousand seamen were
voted by Parliament, and the army was increased to one
hundred and twenty-nine thousand men. An army of
Reserve was raised, and volunteer corps were formed
throughout the country.

The first battalion marched to Chelmsford, when they iso8.
were brigaded with the first battaUon of the Third Guards,
under the command of Major-General the Honourable
Edward Finch. On the tenth of August the brigade was Augntt
inspected by his Royal Highness the Duke of York, in the
main street at Chelmsford.

It was from this place that the subjoined letter, so
highly creditable to the brigade, was addressed to the
Secretary of the Patriotic Fund : —

the wish of the senate and of the people that he should
accept the imperial dignity. Buonaparte consented to an
arrangement which was so " essential to the welfare of the
state," and was declared Emperor on the twentieth of

Colonel of the Coldstream.

The Emperor of Austria had acceded to the treaty of
Petersburgh on the ninth of August. Napoleon's plans
for the invasion of England were consequently at an end,
and the encampment of one hundred thousand men on the
French coast was broken up. He declared to the senate
his determination of immediately placing himself at the
head of his army.

The French at this time were on the Rhine, and con-
sisted of seven corps^ independent of the cavalry under the
direction of Marshal Murat. The different corps were
commanded by the following Marshals : Bemadotte, Da-
voust, Soult, Lannes, Ney, Augereau, and General Mar-
mont. Marshal Massena, with sixty thousand men under
his orders, was in Italy, and, on reaching the Adige, had
his forces increased by twenty thousand French under
General Gouvion St. Cyr. The army of the Emperor of
Germany consisted of three hundred thousand men in the
most efficient state. The preparations of Russia were
also on a great scale ; her army amounted to upwards of
one hundred and eighteen thousand men.

The English, by way of a diversion in favour of Austria,
equipped a force of twenty-six thousand men under Lord
Cathcart.

The first battalion of the Coldstream, commanded by

lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Armstrong, marched from

Chatham on the thirtieth of August to Deal, and after-

Oct. 9th. wards to Dover, from which place they proceeded to Rams-

General Mack was hemmed in mt llm and obliged to
capitulate. Murat came up with General Werneck on the
nineteenth of October, and after an q^agement at Trach-
telfingen the Austrian General capitohted. Marshal
Massena, after a bloody contest at Coldiero, was beaten by
the Archduke Charles.

Early in November, General Hillinger with an Austrian
corps of five thousand men capitulated near A^'erona; he
was made prisoner soon after the Archdoke commenced
his retreat.

The French troops entered Vienna on the thirteenth of
November. The Allies were forced by Napoleon to risk a
general action, much against their own interest, as in
u few days the third Russian army was expected to join
them.
Dto. Snd. The battle of Austerlitz commenced at the dawn of day
and ended at night. The result of this action baffled the
hopes of Austria, Russia, and England. In consequence
of the victory gained by the French, the British troops
returned from Bremen,

Ramsgate, and marched to Deal barracks.

Although the Duke of York quitted the command, he
constantly entertained a strong predilection for the Cold-
stream, and continued through life to watch over its wel-
fare with the greatest interest. Future historians will
record the unwearied and successful efforts of his Royal
Highness as Commander-in-Chief to ameliorate the cha-
racter and condition of the British soldier; but in giving
an account of the services of the Coldstream, it may
be permitted here to remark, that the internal regulations,
the discipline, and the respectability, for which it has been
so much and so justly extolled, emanated in a great mea-
sure from this illustrious Prince and amiable man.

The government of Denmark, which had hitherto ob-

betwH!n Elsinore aod that capital, at a village called isor-
Welbeck. At five o'clock on the morning of the six-
teenth of August the troops got into the boats, and re-
mained ou the beach; towards the evening they com-
menced their march in three colimins till night, when they
halted till day-break, and again marched for the purpose
of investing the capital.

General Peyman, the Danish Commander-in-Chief,
had previously sent to request passports for the King's
nieces to proceed to Colding in Holstein, Soon after the
brigade of Guards had entered the road to Copenhagen
they were formed into- line, and received the Priucesses
with the honours due to their rank.

Lord Rosslyn with six thousand men from the Isle of
Rugeu joined the army, which now amounted to about
twenty- seven thousand.

The Guards occupied the suburbs between Fredericks-
berg and the city; in their advance they were opposed by
a piquet of the enemy, which they dislodged.

The British broke ground before Copenhagen on the
eighteenth of August; after which the operations con-
tinued, notwithstanding frequent efforts to interrupt them
on the part of the Danes. On the twenty- fourth the
town was more closely invested ; a summons was sent on
the first of September, which not being complied with, Sspiember.
the batteries opened next moming, and after a bombard-
ment of three days, an armistice of twenty-four hours was
proposed by the enemy for the purpose of preparing
articles of capitulation. This delay was thought unne-
cessary; Lieu tenant- Colonel Murray was instructed to
intimate that no proposal could be listened to, unless ac-
companied by the unconditional surrender of the fleet.
It was then agreed that the whole of the Danish navy

shoald be delivered up, and Zealand evacuated by tlie
Eoglisb within six weeks, or sooner if possible.

At four o'clock on the evening of the seventh the cita-
del was entered by Major- General Spencer's brigade.

No EngliBliman can desire to perpetuate the remem-
brance of this expedition, which laid the capital of a
neutral state in ruins, and carried war and desolation
among an innocent people. Its policy was doubtful, and
its morality more than questionable. England indeed had
reason to suspect, that the intention of Buonaparte was
to compel the unfortunate Danes to unite their ships with
his, as the price of their exemption from the ravages of
hia victorious troops, already threatening them. If ever
nation deserved commiseration, the Danes deserved it at
that period : had they complied with the request of the
Enghsh government, and voluntarily given up their 6eet
to be carried to England for safe custody, the certain con-
sequence would have been the subjugation of their country
by the French armies. In this disastrous predicament, an
unoffending but feeble community were only allowed to
choose between their political annihilation, and the bom-
bardment of their chief city. They preferred the latter,
were overpowered, and England carried off their ships in
triumph; but they saved their national independence.
Napoleon, had he retained his Imperial crown, would
probably have thrown on England the onus of showing
that he ever contemplated the appropriation of the Danish
fleet to his own purposes. Unfortunately, the proofs of
England's injustice are recorded in characters of blood :
she was frightened for her safety, her magnanimity foi^
sook her, and her fears made her cruel. Thert is no rea-
son to suppose that tlie addition of a few sail of the line
would have transferred the superiority on the ocean to
the fleets of the enemy, or that the expenses of the expe-

niE tOLUSTllEASi GUAItDS.

dition might not have been better bestowed on the aug-
tneutatioD of the naval power of Great Ilritain, toe
her, after her suspicions were realized by the junction
of the Danish men-of-war with those of France, to do
that with honour which could only be dishonourably done
while they remained dismantled in their own peaceful
harbours. If the principle of malting war by anticipation,
without waiting for an overt act of hostility, be once
admitted, there can be no repose or security among the
nations of Europe ; the existence of the false principle of
anticipatory warfare will generate and justify fear, and
fear will magnify danger. It is fiir from the interest of
the civilized world to multiply the causes of war, or that
neutral nations should be subjected to fire and sword,
their ships seized, their towns destroyed, their fields ra-
vaged, and their crops annihilated by one belligerent
to prevent the other from making use of them. The bom-
bardment of Copenliageu, and the seizure of the Danish
nhips, were contrary to the most obvious principles of
justice, and cannot even be vindicated on the treacherous
plea of necessity; for at sea England ruled supreme: if
was a fierce imitation of the ruthless, unhesitating policy
of Napoleon.

The army began to re-embark on the thirteenth of uciub«r.
October, and by the twentieth all had got on board ; the
Guards and the Fourth regiment being the last that
remained on shore.

The first battalion anchored in Yarmouth Roads, and
then proceeded to Chatham, where they went into
barracks.

In March Chaiies the Fourth abdicated the throne of lene.
Spain in favour of his son Ferdinand; but soon after, in a
letter to the French Emperor, he declared that it had been
compulsory. In April Napol«oa arrived at Bayonne. April i5ili.

opposition to the advice of his councillors, to meet him.
In Ferdinand's absence Mnrat entered Madrid at the
head of a French army : Godoy, Prince of Peace, who had
been imprisoned, was released and sent under an escort

April sotli. to Bayonne. Charles the Fourth, with the Queen, also
repaired thither. Napoleon had an interview with Charles,
at which the Queen of Spain and Ferdinand were present.
After Charles had accused Ferdinand of usurpation, and
lavished on him the grossest abuse, and the Queen had
declared his illegitimacy, be was by threats and promises
at last induced to sign a document renouncing all right
and claim to the throne; and the other branches of the
royal family were prevailed on to resign their pretensions
in a similar manner. Charles the Fourth then ceded his
claims in favour of Napoleon. Ferdinand, Don Antonio,
his uncle, and his brother Don Carlos, fixed their residence
at Valency. Charles, the Queen, and the Prince of Peace,
retired to Rome.
Junp. Joseph Buonaparte was proclaimed King of Spain by an
Imperial decree issued at Bayonne on the sixth of June,
Ten days after this extraordinary event an insurrection
broke out at Oporto, which spread with such rapidity
through the northern provinces of Portugal that the
French, who had taken possession of that country, were
quickly expelled from it. The insurrection extended to
Spain; and t)ie French squadron at Cadiz was compelled
to capitulate. Dupont's army of fifteen thousand men

L surrendered to the Spanish General Castanos. The Pa-
triots entered into a treaty with Faigland. The Spanish

On the twelfth of July a force of nine thousand three
hundred and ninety-four men, commanded by Sir Arthur
Wellesley, sailed from Cork : on clearing the coast the
frigate in which he embarked left the fleet and steered for
Coninna, where he had an interview with the provincial
authorities, to whom he offered his co-operation. This
was declined, on the ground that there was no immediate
necessity for it In that quarter. Sir Arthur consequently
sailed for Oporto, and held a conference with the Bishop
and other functionaries. From Oporto he proceeded off
Lisbon : after communicating with Sir Charles Cotton, he
returned, and commenced landing his troops in Mondego
Bay on the first of August. General Spencer arrived August,
on the sixth with reinforcements. The army then ad-
ran ced.

On the seventeenth Sir Arthur Wellesley attacked the
heights of Roh^a with complete success, and on the twenty-
first defeated the French under the Duke d'Abrautes at
the battle of Vimeira,^ which led to the evacuation of
Portugal by the troops of Napoleon.

The French Emperor returned to Paris on the October.
eighteenth of October, and made known to the legislative
body his determination to proceed in a few days for Ma-
drid to place his brother Joseph on the Spanish throne.
An army exceeding one hundred thousand men had
already reinforced the French in that country.

he declared that should the Spaniards prove themselves
unworthy of his confidence, and resist his wishes, he bad
determined to treat them as a conquered province, give
his brother another kin^oni, and place the crown of Spain
on his own heud.

Napoleon quitted Madrid on the nineteenth, and put
himself at the head of his troops for the purpose, as he
boasted, of driving the British into the sea.

On the twentieth the troops under Sir John Moore
and Sir David Baird formed a junrtioQ at Mayorga; four
days after, that army commenced its disastrons retreat.
This retrograde movement, necessary perhaps from cir-
cumstances, but rendered calamitous by insubordination
and misman^ement, ended in the battle of Corunna.*
The British, on coming in contact with the enemy, reco-
vered their discipline, and vigorously repulsed the French,
who attacked in great force. But the triumph was
clouded by tlie death of Sir John Moots, who whs killed
in the action.

This army embarked for England in the course of the
night and following rooming.

In the mean time another expedition was prepared ; Bod
the brigade quartered at Chatham, under Brigadier-Gene-
ral Henry Campbell, composed of the first battalions of
the Coldstream and Third Guards, marched to Kamsgate,

Marshal in their seirice. He was perfectly qualified for
the situation, and employed himself nith the greatest
zeal and activity in re-niodelling the Portnguese army,
which, previous to his command, had been in the lowest
state of degradation. This General introduced subordina-
tion, and convinced them of the advantages arising
from discipline. English officers were placed in command
of regiments, and a regular organization established.

eighteen thousand men, besides twenty thousand native
troops taken into British pay. In addition to these, fresh
levies were raised in all parts, and the inhabitants now
looked forward with confidence to the successful defence
of their country.

Soult had crossed the Mioho on the twenty-aeventh

Spaniards under the Marquis de la Romana, near Mon-
terry. The French Marshal after this exploit crossed the

the first of May y where they were received with shouts of
joy ; the balconies were filled with females ; embroidered
and damask cloths^ as is customary in Catholic coun-

sweetmeats, sugar-plums, and orange flowers, were show-
ered on the soldiers in great profusion during their passage
through the town: in the evening the city was illu-
minated.

Colonel Trant was stationed in front, holding the line
of the Vouga with two thousand irregular troops, of
which three hundred were students from the University.
This position he kept against the enemy until the advance
of the British on the tenth.

men, including three thousand Germans and nine thousaml
Portuguese.

Beresford was ordered with llie Portuguese to in-
tercept Soult if he should attempt to retreat by Ama-
rante. General Hill with his division embarked on the
ninth at Aveiro to turn the enemy's right. The rest
of the army under Sir Arthur nioTed by the direct
road to Oporto, On the eleventh the French were dis-
lodged from a range of hills on which they were strongly
posted at Grijon. They retreated and entered Oporto
during the night, after which the bridge of boats was re-
moved, being the only bridge over the Douro at that
place.

Soon after seven a.m. on the twelfth the British
marched through Villa Nova, and halted on the heights
opposite Oporto, which waa effected without their co-
lumns being exposed to view. The enemy had neglected
to guard the river above the town, not expecting any
attempt would be made in that direction. After a few
boats were collected higher up, at a bend in the Douro,
out of sight of the enemy's piquets, Major-General Paget
crossed with the Buffs, and was followed by the rest
of Major-General Hill's brigade. They took possession
of a building which was maintained in spite of every
effort of tile French to dislodge them ; here General
Paget lost his arm. Several gims were planted near the
convent of Sarea in Villa Nova to support the attack.
Major-General MuiTay with his brigade and some cavalry
crossed at Barca d'Avintas, a few miles higher up. The
Guards then advanced to the water-side through Villa
Nova, where the river was upwards of three hundred
yards broad, very deep, and extremely rapid. They
crossed at two o'clock p.m. in boats at the spot where the

bridge, prior to its removal, had been placed ; ' and, on
landing, were immediately sent in pursuit. They chargnd
the right of the French, and drove them through the
principal streets, taking many prisoners and baggage.
The enemy's left was endangered by the appearance of the
brigade under Major-General Murray. The rest of the Bri-
tish crossed as quickly as the boats could convey them.
The Guards, while driving the French through the
streets, were every where received by the inhabitants in
the same manner as at Coiaihra. Amidst t)ie conflict
the soldiers were encouraged with enthusiastic cheers;
" Viva ofi Inglezes," " Viva Grand Britania," " Viva O
Grand WeUington," resounded on all sides. H<^head8
of wine were brought into the streets and given to the
troops, and blessings were universally bestowed by the
inhabitants on the brave English who had so gallantly
relieved them from their cruel oppressors.

Soult's loss must have been very considerable: his
army left tlie place in complete disorder : they were
undoubtedly surprised, and, according to the statements
of the inhabitants, had thought themselves perfectly
secure.

The passage of the Douro was one of the most
gallant and brilliant exploits that had taken place
for a series of years. The English General crossed tbi»
broad and rapid river at mid-day, with only a few boats, in
the face of an active and skilful enemy. Although the
tity of Oporto was defended by one of the ablest
Marshals of France, commanding troops unused to defeat,
this victory was achieved with a loss on the part of the
British not exceeding one hundred and twenty-hve killed
and wounded.

The situation of Soult's army was critical; having
learnt at Penafielthat lieresford had obliged Loison to quit
the ground he occupied on the Tamcga, Soult determined
to march on Guiniaraens ; to effect which he abandoned
his guns, ammunition, military chest, baggage, and took
to the paths across the mountains, leaving Braga ' on
the left. By this manceuvre he gained a day in ad-
vance.

Sir Arthur left Oporto on the fourteenth, and arrived

poirted at Salamonde. The enemy's right was protected 1809.
by a deep ravine ; the road as far as the village was
exposed to the fire of their position : their left was co-
vered by an extremely high hill. Two companies of the
Coldstream mider Colonel Henry MacKinnon crowned the
height, for the purpose of taming the enemy's left :
on their appearance the brigade of Guards was ordered to
advance. This attack was led by the light companies
of the Coldstream and Third Guards, with the Sixtieth
rifles, under the command of lieutenant-Colonel Fuller
of the Coldstream. After firing a volley the enemy
fled in great confusion. Two or three guns were brought
to bear on the bridge of Ponte Nova» over which they
endeavoured to escape, though not in the direct road of
retreat; and at this spot great numbers were killed, many
were crushed, others fell over the bridge, which had no
parapet, and were drowned.

Sir Arthur Wellesley, in his dispatch, dated Monte
Alegre, May the eighteenth, 1809, says, ** The brigade of
** Guards were at the head of the column, and set a lau-
'' dable example ; and in the affair with the enemy's rear-
'' guard on the evening of the sixteenth they conducted
** themselves remarkably well."

The French continued their retreat, and on the eigh-
teenth the Coldstream crossed the bridge at Ravaens, and
halted, after a long march, at Scavessa de Rio, in the
Sierra Genres, where they remained the next day, and the
pursuit tenninated.

The British returned through Braga to Oporto, which
they reached on the twenty-fourth. This town they left
on the twenty-eighth, and arrived at Coimbra on the
third of June ; they then continued their route through Jnne.
Lyria and Thomarto Abrautes, near which place the army
was concentrated.

The Ninety-fifth, Fifty-second, and Forty-third regi-
ments, under General Crauford, from England, and the
Forty-eighth and Sixty-first regiments from Gibraltar,
were at Lisbon on their way to join the army. Sir Ar-
thur Wellesley now determined to commence opera-
tions in Spain. ^

1809.
June.

* The British troops under Sir Arthur Wellesley amounted to
about nineteen thousand infantry and one thousand five hundred
cavalry. Romana with fiAeen thousand men was in Gallicia ; and
Blake with about twenty thousand was in Valencia ; Beresford,
with twelve thousand Portuguese and ten thousand Spaniards, under
the Duke del Parque, was to watch Soult; and the pass of

116 ORIGIN AND SERVICES OF

1809. The French under Victor, amounting to upwards of
twenty thousand men, were on the Tagus: Sebastiani's
corps, not quite so numerous, were in La Mancha : several
thousand men were quartered in and about Madrid.
Marshals Soult, Ney, and Mortier, with a large force^
were in Old Castile, Gallicia, and Leon: besides which
there were a division of cavalry, and forty thousand
men stationed in Arragon, Catalonia, and the adjacent
country.
Jane 27th. The allies marched from Abrantes, by Salvatiena,
July 12th. on Placentia. They left Placentia on the seventeenth of
July, formed a junction with General Cuesta's army at
Oropesa, and moved in two columns on Talavera de la
Reyna; from whence Marshal Victor, after making a
slight resistance, retired across the Alberche.

The most positive assurances had been given by the
Spanish Government to Sir Arthur Wellesley that his
army should be regularly supplied with provisions and
means of transport during his advance ; but, either from
neglect on the part of the proper authorities, or from the
exhausted state of the country, these promises were not
fulfilled. In consequence the troops underwent great
privations.^ Sir Arthur reftised to move, and even threat-
ened to return to Portugal if the rations and means of con-
veyance so frequently demanded and promised were not
forthcoming.

The Spanish General Cuesta advanced to Santa Olalla:
he was there attacked, and retreated in great disorder to
the Alberche, where his troops joined the British. The

Banos was to be guarded to prevent Soult's advancing to Pla-
centia.

position of the Allies occupied nearly two miles. The ^^^'.
Spaniards were strongly posted on the right in front of
Talavera, extending to the Tagus ; here they were sheltered
from the fire of the French guns, and the space was in*
tersected with ditches, mud enclosures, olive trees, and
Tineyards« The centre of the line was more open. The
left was on a lofty ascent, and a ravine ran along the
front. The communication from the hill with the rest of
the English line was of easy and gradual descent. This
height was at first occupied only by Colonel Donkin's
brigade, who, being unable to defend so large a space, had
his left turned : he was reinforced by General Hill, when
the enemy were driven from the summit. Soon after dark
an attempt was made to dislodge the German Legion,
which however maintained its ground. About the same
time a fire commenced fit>m the left of the British line,
which was taken up by the Guards, and partially went
down the brigade: from this unfortunate occurrence,
Lieutenant-Colonel Ross, Captain Bryan, and two men
were killed. In this conflict the British loss amounted to
eight hundred; that of the French was estimated at one
thousand.

At day-light two strong columns, supported by a third, July sstft.
under a discharge of artillery, advanced against the left of
the British position. This attack was conducted with great
order ; the French moved on at a quick pace, crossed the
ravine, and mounted the ascent, where they were received
by the brigades of Tilson and Richard Stewart. A de-
structive fire of musketry was well kept up on both sides;
but the assailants were at length thrown into disorder,
and retired to their original ground. During the at-
tack General Hill, who commanded on the left, was
wounded.

The roll of the French drums was distinctly heard at one

118 ORIGIN AND SERVICES OF

clouds of dust. About two the French light troops ad-
vanced ; four dense columns followed them, covered by
eighty guns. The English, notwithstanding the heavy
loss they sustained from the cannonade, patiently reserved
their fire till the near approach of the enemy.

General Sebastiani almost reached the redoubt on the
right of the British ; but the troops commanded by Briga-
dier-General Alexander Campbell, with two Spanish bat-
talions, drove them back with great slaughter, taking
thirteen pieces of cannon.

On the left, Brigadier-General Anson with the Twenty^
third, and First German hussars, was ordered to charge
the head of Villatte's column. When at the gallop, the
brigade was suddenly checked by a deep ravine. The
Twenty-third light dn^oons, in defiance of the fire from
the squares, dashed heedlessly on, passed between the di-
visions of Ruffin and Villatte, and charged a brigade of
chasseurs. A body of cavalry sent by Marshal Victor
coming up, the regiment was surrounded, broken, and
nearly annihilated.

The centre, occupied by Slierbrooke's division, on the
approach of the column under Lapisse was in readiness to
charge. The French advanced with great resolution under
the protection of their numerous artillery. They were re-
ceived with calm intrepidity by the first division, who dis-
charged a volley, and rushed on them with irresistible im-
petuosity. The brigade of Guards pursued the enemy so
far as to expose itself to be attacked by the reserve
columns, and taken in flank by the fire of the artillery.
The French cavalry also advanced, and the brigade suffered
very severely : about six hundred in a few minutes were
killed and wounded, and its entire destruction appeared
inevitable. The first battalion of the Forty-eighth regi-

to their support, when the Guards rallied, and again
heroically advanced with renewed huzzas to the aid of the
gallant Forty-eighth. These cheers were echoed along

the whole of the British line ! It was the shout of
triumph ! The French were beaten ; and although some
skirmishing was kept up by the light troops, and occasion-
ally a heavy cannonade, they retired to their original po-
sition.^

In the evening of the twenty-eighth the grass, which
was very long and dry, ignited, and the fire spread with
such rapidity, that several of the wounded were burnt to
death. During the night the men lay on their arms, and
suffered greatly from the want of provisions. Next morn- July 29th.
ing a rear guard of cavalry was all that was visible of the
French army.

' " Commanded by two gallant officers, Lieutenant-Colonel Done-
** Ian and Major Middlemore, the latter taking the command when
" the former fell."

' The British lost about ^yc thousand three hundred and sixty-
scTen men, amongst whom were Major-Generals M^ Kenzie and
Langworth. The loss of the French may be calculated at be-
tween eight and ten thousand. The loss of the Spaniards, accord-
ing to their own statement, was twelve hundred. Seyenteen
guns were captured by the English.

▼era de la Rejrna, Joly twentyHunth, 1809.

** The charge made by the brigade of Ghiards nnder the
** command of Brigadier-General Henry Campbell, cm the
** enemy's attacking column, was a most gallant one.'*

The light brigade, consisting of a troop of horse-artillery,
the Forty-third, Fifty-second, and Ninety-fifth rifles, nnder
Major-General Robert Crauford, joined, after marching
sixty-two miles in twenty-six hours in the hottest wea-
ther, leaying only seventeen stragglers on the road.

Soult haying forced the strong passes between Sabr

manca and Placentia, Sir Arthur Wellesley resolved that

Aug. 9rd. the British army should immediately march to Oropesa,

leaving the Spanish General Cuesta to remain in position

at Talavera.

Notwithstanding this arrangement, Cuesta left his po-
sition without the knowledge of Sir Arthur Wellesley, and
joined him with his army at day- light on the fourth, having
marched all night. In so doing Cuesta abandoned the
sick and wounded of the British army, amounting to five
thousand men, who had been left at Talavera under the
command of Colonel Henry Mac Kinnon of the Coldstream
Guards. As Marshal Victor was only a few leagues dis-
tant. Colonel MacKinnon had received instructions in
case of necessity to make the best of his way to Merida by
the bridge of Arzobispo. When he saw Cuesta marching
away, he applied to that General for transport, and it was
with great difficulty he could procure half a dozen bullock
cars. Colonel H. MacKinnon, who wrote and spoke the
French language remarkably well, obtained for those un-
fortunate men, whom there was no possibility of removing,
the most humane and honourable treatment.^ After pa-

zobtspo, and forty more cars were added to his means of
transport; bat these were in so bad a state, that having to
cross the worst roads in the world, only eleven of them
reached Deleytosa. Colcmel H. MacKinnon nevertheless
marched about two thousand sick and wounded soldiers
from Talavera to Elvas» a distance of fifty-one leagues,
without any assistance fit)m the local authorities, and with
only one commissary's cleik to furnish them with food.
During his march, the inhabitants frequently evinced
feelings of hostiUty, and he was compelled to resort to
coercive measures to preserve his men from starvation.^

Sir Arthur Wellesley crossed the Tagus at Arzobispo;
Cuesta fcdlowed, leaving the Duke del Albuquerque with
a considerable force to defisnd the bridge, and withdrawing
the remainder of his army to Paraleda de Garben. The
French having succeeded in fording the river, not more
than two hundred yards above the bridge, surprised the
Spaniards, and took their works in rear. On this oc-
casion Albuquerque charged with great determination; but
fresh troops came up, which obliged the Spaniards to re-
treat, vnth the loss of thirty guns, ammunition, and bag-
gage. Cuesta retired to Deleytosa, and the British fell
back from that place to Zaraicejo.

The following officers of the Coldstream were taken prisoners : —

lieutenants, eleren ensigpis, two thousand rank and file ; all io

122 ORIGIN AND SEllVICES OF

1809. It was found impossible to supply the troops with pro-

visions; and as all concert between Ciiesta and Sir Arthur
was at an end, the latter resolved to establish his head-
quarters at Badajoz.

The brigade of Guards reached Merida on the twenty^
fourth of August, and remained there till the beginning of
September; they afterwards marched towards Talavera
Sept. 3rd. Real. Whilst they were in this neighbourhood huts were
constructed to protect the men from the heat, which was
excessive. The brigade entered Badajoz on the tenth of
October.

'^ The Commander of the Forces deems it but justice to
'^ the two battalions of Guards to state, that their returns
'^ have in every respect been as accurate as the conduct of
'^ those excellent corps has been regular and exemplary
" in every other respect.'

War had been declared on the sixth of April between
France and Austria. Napoleon quitted Paris in that month
to take the field. Marshal Davoust was with a French
corps atRatisbon, Massena at Ulm, Oudinotat Augsburg.
Head-quarters at Strasburg.

The Bavarians, under Le Fevre, Generals Roy and
Wrede, were at Munich, Landshut, and Staubing. A
division of Wirtemburgers was at Hydenheim. The Saxons
were encamped at Dresden, and Poniatowski's corps was-
under the walls of Warsaw.

Napoleon gained the battle of Abensberg on the
twentieth, where he overthrew two corps commanded by
the Archduke Lewis and General Hillier; the day after,
he gained another victory at Landshut. On the twenty-
second he attacked the Archduke Charles at Eckmuhl, and

forced the latter to retire behind the Danube with great '^^^'
loss.*

To create a diversion in favoar of Austria, a formidable
expedition was prepared by England for invading the
French dominions. About the end of July forty thousand
men were collected : a fleet of thirty-nine sail of the line,
with thirty-six frigates, besides a vast number of gun-
boats, bomb-vessels, and other small craft, was fitted out.
The object of this armament was the occupation of Flush-
ing, and the destruction of the French ships, arsenals, and
dock -yards at Antwerp. The command of the expedition
was entrusted to Lord Chatham. The fleet was under
Sir Richard Strachan, and sailed in two divisions for the
island of Walcheren on the twenty-eighth and twenty-
ninth of July.

Lord Chatham, whose army, long detained among un-

of the slowness of his proceedings to improve their means

against Antweqi, better knowD aa the Walcheren expe- **"•
dition from having got no farther, may be termed by
Eugland her "crowning abBurdity," whether the magni-
tude and expense of the preparations are considered, or the
original conception of the plan those splendid preparations
were expected to realise. All former disastrous and ill-
considered debarkations on the enemy's coast are thrown
into shade when compared with this memorable scheme
for surprising an important fortress belonging to the most
powerful monarch and most active warrior of the period ;
care being first taken to give him due notice of the ap-
proaching surpnee by the preparatorj' siege of Flushing.
After lingering for weeks together in the pestilent islands
of the Scheld, the Enghsh General, to his apparent asto-
nishment, discovered that Napoleon, whose resources and
energy were known to the whole world, had contrived in
the interval to render a coup-de-main on Antwerp alto-
gether impracticable. Much has been said of the in-
efficiency of the British commander on that occasion;
and it was strongly urged by the opponents of the then
existing administration, that an officer should not have beea
selected whose habitual dilatoriness had previously ac-
quired lor him the appellation of "the late" Lord Chatham.
But as his inglorious return was not attended with any
personal consequences, there is reason to suppose that the
foult rested elsewhere, and that the General's course had
been marked out for him before he left England. Tardi-
ness of movement is at all times a very questionable evi-
dence of military talent; but in the case of acoup-de-maJn,
the application of the maxim "slow and sure" can only
mean, sure not to succeed. The sufferings of the troops,
and the cost to the country of twenty milhons sterling, are
yet remembered with indignant sorrow : it is to be hoped
that future British Cabinets will at length learn from so
many repeated lessons, that although such enterprises may

126 ORIGIN AND SERVICES OF

1809. succeed against detached islands cut off from all assistance,
they cannot with prudence be adventured on the Conti-
nent, with the inadequate force that a maritime power can
suddenly and secretly convey on ship-board to the terri-
tories of a powerful enemy^ whose troops may in a few
hours be collected from every quarter in overwhelming
numbers. Although Napoleon had carried with him to
the open field his strongest and most disciplined soldiers,
it was pure infatuation to suppose that he had not left in
France thousands who were fully competent for garrison
duty ; or that^ having left them, they should be so placed
as not to be within reach of his most important fortresses.
Nothing happened which might not have been foretold,
except the wonderment of the English Ministers on finding
that failure is the attendant of folly. Walcheren was re-
tained till the twenty-third of December, when it was
evacuated.

A battle was fought by the Spaniards on the nineteenth
of November at Ocana, where their best troops were
destroyed.^ Napoleon considered this victory as the con-
clusion of the war, and exultingly exclaimed, in his speech
to the Senate, '' I shall show myself beyond the Pyrenees,
'^ when the fiightened Leopard will fly to the sea to avoid
'' shame, defeat, and death : my Imperial Eagles shall be
'^ planted on the ramparts of Cadiz, and be seen on the
" towers of Lisbon."

In this state of affairs Sir Arthur Wellesley, created
Viscount Wellington, deemed it expedient to confine
himself to the defence of Portugal : the army in conse-
quence crossed the Tagus.

The brigade of Guards marched through Portalegre,
Abrantes, Coimbra, and arrived at Vizeu on the thirtieth

1809. General Hiirs coq)8 was placed in and about Abrantes.
The remainder of the army occupied Guarda, Celerico*
Pinhely and places in the neighbourhood. The river Cea
ran along the front of the I'me.

The confident expectation expressed by the Emperor of
France at this period, that ^* the Leopard would fly to
the sea," was not the result of a too sanguine temperament
fondly bent on giving reality to its own unfounded wishes;
the anticipation was that of a skilful soldieri founding his
calculations on the ordinary rules of military sciencCi and
allowing his adversary, whose future movements he sought
to divine, a fair portion of courage and talent. The
Spanish army was annihilated ; the spirit of that people
appeared crushed; and no adequate force remained in
Spain to impede the successful progress of the Emperor's
legions. Wellington, outnumbered by the French, retired
through Portugal, a country deemed indefensible against
the power of Napoleon. Every thing seemed to indicate
that the Peninsula would become the prey of the invader,
and that the British were making for Lisbon to repeat the

" Vizeu, 13 January, 1810.
" Sir,

" I have taken frequent occasions of stating pub-

Soult, with little opposition, forced the passes of the

Jin. eoth. Sierra Morena, which had been fortilied, overthrowing
twenty thousaod men intended for their defence, and
advanced into Aodalueia. On the twenty-firat of January
he reached Baylen. Sevea days after, Victor joined him
before Seville, which place opened its gates on the thirty-
first, and Joseph Buonaparte entered the city in trinmph.

Febniuy. Mortier was sent into Hstramadura, and Victor marched
for Cadiz, which was unprepared for defence. Vanegos,
the governor, was much disliked, and resigned. A Junta
was then elected by ballot.

The Duke of Albuquerque, in oppo^tion to the orders
he had received to march on Cordova, hastened in this
extremity with all speed to Cadiz, and by the rapidity of

embark at Portsmouth for Cadiz, from whence they pro-
ceeded to the Isle of Leon.
Aphl. A force of between five and six thousand British and
Portuguese was there collected under Lieutenant-General
Graham. ' Both sides exerted themselves in constructiDg
fortifications. The French strengthened Rota, Puerto
Real, Puerto Santa Maria, and Chiclona. They formed
intrenched camps between these places and at Trocadero;
and established batteries, whence they threw enormous
shells half filled with lead into the town. The English
restored the old works and erected new ones along the
Santa Petri river; they also cut a canal across the isthmus,
near the Corta Dura, between the Isla and Cadiz. The
Allies were considerably augmented. Strong reinforce-
ments also arrived for the French in Spain, who had
upwards of three hundred thousand men in different parts
of the Peninsula.

Towards the end of April* Lord Wellington moved
from Vizeu to Celerico, at which place the brigade of
Guards was quartered.

For some time a powerful army had been assembling,
which consisted of the Second, Sixth, and Eighth corps
under Marshal Massena. This was denominated '' the
army of Portugal."
May. Almeida was strengthened, and hopes were entertained

that it would detain the enemy some time, should Ciu-
dad Rodrigo fall.

Massena commenced the siege of Ciudad Rodrigo in
Juno i5tli. June, but the garrison did not capitulate till the tenth of

' The Coldstream inarched on the twenty-seventh, and reached
Celerico next day. Part of the regiment were quartered in the
neighbouring villages.

July, after a siege of twenty-five days with open trenches. J^^«
This General addressed a proclamation from Ciudad
Rodrigo, in which he stated that the Emperor of the
French had put under his orders an army of one hundred
thousand men^ to take possession of Portugal, and to
expel the English, the pretended friends of the Portu-
guese, whose purposes were insidious and selfish : he
added, that in opposing the Emperor they opposed
their true friend, who was governed by principles of
universal philanthropy; that the English had put arms
into their hands which would prove instruments of anni-
hilation to them- " Can the feeble army," he asked, " of
^' the British General expect to oppose the victorious
'* legions of the Emperor ? Already a force is collected
" sufficient to overwhelm your country. Snatch the mo-
" ment that mercy and generosity offer ! As friends you
" may respect us, and be respected in return; as foes
'' you must dread us, and in the conflict must be sub-
** dued. The choice is your own, either to meet the

' British, Spanish, and Portuguese Armies :

With Lord Wellington, thirty thousand ; with Lieutenant-
General Hill, fourteen thousand; Reserve with Major-General
Leith, ten thousand. There was also in co-operation a corps of
Portuguese militia consisting of ten thousand, besides ten thou-
sand Spanish troops under Romana; making a total of seventy-
four thousand.

French Army under Massena :

The Infantry of the Second, Sixth, and Eighth corps, sixty-two
thousand ; the Cavalry six thousand ; Artillery, &c. four thousand.
Besides which he was afterwards joined by two divisions of the
Ninth corps under Drouet, consisting of ten thousand, as well as
the remainder of the corps under General Claperede, eight
thousand. A corps of thirteeen thousand, under Mortier, was in
co-operation on the south of the Tagus; making a total of one
hundred and three thousand.

'' solatedy your villc^s in flames, your cities plundered ;
'' or to accept an honourable peace, which will obtain for
'' you blessings that a vain resistance would deprive you
" of for ever/*

Ney with his corps attacked General Crauford on the
morning of the twenty-fourth, who was obliged to retreat
behind the Coa ; Crauford, however, succeeded in main-
taining the bridge till evening, notwithstanding the re-
peated attempts made by the enemy with a very superior
force.

Previous to the investment of Almeida, Wellington took
the precaution to withdraw his troops from Pinhel and
Trancoso to the valley of the Mondego, behind Celerico,
that he might retire leisurely if Massena advanced without
waiting the surrender of that fortress. Almeida was in-
vested by Massena : the batteries of the besiegers were

Aagost. not opened till towards the end of August, but the town
unexpectedly surrendered on the twenty-seventh, owing to
the explosion of the magazines in the citadel, by which
calamity a great number of inhabitants and houses were
destroyed.

On the fourth the following proclamation was issued by
Lord Wellington :

'' The Portuguese must now perceive that no other
** means remain to avoid the evils with which they are
** threatened, but a determined and vigorous resistance,
*^ and a firm resolution to obstruct as much as possible the
'' advance of the enemy into theinterior of the kingdom,
** by removing out of his reach every thing that may con-
^' tribute to his subsistence, or facilitate his progress. The
'* army under my command will protect as large a portion
** of the country as is possible ; but it is obvious that the

THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS. 136

** people alone can deliver themselves by a vigorous re* i^o.
" sistance, and preserve their goods by removing them "*"
'' beyond the reach of the enemy. The duties, therefore,
** that bind me to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent
** of Portugal, and to the Portuguese nation, oblige
'' me to make use of the power and authority with which
'' I am intrusted to compel the careless and indolent to
^' make the necessary efforts to preserve themselves from
'' the dangers which threaten them, and to save their
** country. I therefore make known and declare, that all
magistrates, and persons in authority, who shall remain
in the villages and towns, after having received orders
^* from the military officers to remove from them, and all
'' persons, of whatsoever class they may be, who shall
** maintain the least communication with, or aid and
** assist the enemy in any manner, shall be considered as
^ traitors to the state, and tried and punished as an offence
** so heinous requires."

Massena's army entered Portugal in three columns, Sepcieth.
headed by Junot, Ney, and Regnier.

The Allies retreated in the finest order by the road on
the left bank of the Mondego, leaving the other through
Vizeu to Coimbra open.

The French army concentrated at Vizeu ; but their junc-
tion was retarded by a well-planned attack made by Co- Sept. soth.
lonel Trant on a convoy of the enemy near Togal, within
half a day's march of Vizeu. The Colonel captured
two officers and one hundred men, and caused the artillery
under their convoy to fall back on Trancoso, which occa-
sioned a delay of five days to the French General, as it
obliged him to wait its arrival.^ By this occurrence

* In an intercepted dispatch Maasena says, '' being obliged to
" wait five days at Vizeu for my artillery.'*

136 ORIGIN AND SERVICES OF

1810. Wellington gained time to execute one of the mostr
brilliant manoeuvres of this brilliant campaign. At Ponte
de Murcella, the day after Massena had reached Vizeu,
the bridge was destroyed.

Sept.S6tb. On the twenty-sixth Generals Hill and Leith joined
the Allies, now in position on the heights of Busaco.
The troops were ordered to conceal themselves as much
as possible behind the brow of the hill. The French,
placed immediately below, were distinctly seen from
every part of the high ground , extending nearly eight
miles from the Mondego in a northerly direction. A
convent crowned the summit of Busaco, surrounded by
extensive woods ; this point was nearly three hundred
feet highy but its elevation varied considerably in different
places : two roads crossed the hill, one near the convent,
the other more to the south. Sir Brent Spencer with
the first division occupied the centre, on the right of which
were the Guards; the Coldstream extended to Picton's-
division, which joined with Leith 's ; General Hill was on
the extreme right; General Cole's division occupied the
left. The light division was in advance, in front of the left
and left centre. The cavalry under Sir Stapleton Cotton
formed in the rear. General Fane's brigade was on the
left of the Mondego.

Sept. 27 th. Before day on the morning of the twenty-seventh, the
British, who had been ordered on the previous even-
ing to stand to their arms, were in readiness to receive the
enemy. Ney's corps, formed in three masses, approached
the convent; Junot was at some distance in the rear,
and with him the greater part of the cavalry, Regnier at-
tacked in two columns, and ascended a part of the
hill, where he was opposed by the piquets and light troopa
of the third division, assisted by a flank fire of grape
from some guns: notwithstanding this resistance he sue-

THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS. 137

ceeded in gaining the summit in great force* The French isio.
had at first only to contend with the Eighty-eighth r^-
menty belonging to part of Colonel Henry MacKinnon's
brigade ; but it was soon after reinforced by the Forty-
fifth and Eighth Portuguese regiments, also under his
orders. The brigade thus united poured in a destructive
fire of musketry, and furiously charged ; in doing which
they were joined by a brigade from Leith's division.
They then drove the enemy with great impetuosity before
them, who left upwards of seven hundred dead.

Marshal Ney was equally unsuccessful in his attack on
the light division under Major-General Crauford, who
had judiciously formed behind the hill; so that on crown-
ing the height, Ney's column had unexpectedly to en-
counter the effects of the artillery and musketry, followed
by a charge. His column was not only routed, but the
leading regiments were totally destroyed. The loss of the
British and Portuguese did not much exceed twelve hun-
dred ; that of the French, on a moderate calculation, was
supposed to be about five thousand.

Animated by the example of the British officers em-
ployed under Beresford in the organization of their army,
and now associated with them in the field, the Por-
tuguese, in many respects, did honour to the character
recorded of them in the historical annals of that country.

Had Massena followed Ney's advice and attacked
Busaco on the twenty-fifth, there would have been more
chance of success, as it was at that time only partially occu-
pied. On the twenty-seventh the issue of the attempt
was at no time doubtfuL His only alternative when he
failed was to retire on Spain, or to turn the position, which
he might equally have done on the preceding day.

After the battle a Portuguese peasant was taken,
and informed the enemy that the heights extending

138 ORIGIN AND SERVICES OF

1810. northwards from Busaco, called the Sierra de Camnda,

SepcSTth.

were practicable for caTalry, and presented good roads to

CiHinbra and Oporto.^ Massena then detenmoed to
the left of the Allied army.

Wellington intended that Colonel Tranf s diTisioa of
militia, consisting of about two thousand men,
from the commencement of the campaign had been
ployed in harassing the enemy's rear, should march to
Sardao, a few miles distant from Busaco. Bat as the
order was couTcyed through General Barcellar, who com-
manded in the north, that officer conceired that the more-
ment was for the protection of Oporto, and with thai
beUef sent Trant round by that city. After forced
of two hundred miles, Trant at length reached S
on the twenty-eighth, previous to the crossing of the Car-
mula by the French. His men, diminished by (atigne to
about twelve hundred, were inadequate to resist an aray
headed by a numerous cavalry, marchins: in one colomiiy
especially as there were several passes, each of iriiicli
required a more effective force than the armed peasantrr
under Trant to defend them. Beins: informed on the
thirtieth that the army had evacuated Busaco, Trant took
post behind the Vouga. On his retreat he was

eighth and twenty-ninth and marched for Coimbra, where leio.
he established his head -quarters on the first of Oc- Ortobcr.
tober. Leaving his hospital stores, and about five thou-
sand sick and wounded under a guard, he advanced by
Condexia, in expectation of faUing in with the rear of
Wellington's army, which during the night withdrew from
the position and fell back to the south of the Mon-
dego. The army then retired in the finest order towards
their hnes by the two parallel routes of Thomar and Lyria,
occasionally halting to preserve the relative connexion of
the two columns : that on the Thomar road was com-
manded by General Hill.

On the morning of the fifth of October Wellington
continued his retreat, when the enemy advanced in great
force, hut were kept in check, with a trifling loss, which
enabled the Allies to retire leisurely, the right by Thomar
and Santarem, the centre through Batalha and Rio Mayor,
and the left by Alcoba^a and Obidos, The weather at
this time was cold, and the rain fell in torrents. Massena
continued to follow by the Rio Mayor road, and in the
afternoon of the tenth drove the Allies out of the village
of Sobral. On the same day the British troops were con- Oet. loih.
centrated within their lines. Lord Wellington's foresight
in the formation of these extensive works was worthy of
his fame and extraordinary talents ; they were begun and
completed without attracting any particular notice. The
British troops were as much surprised at finding them-
selves in their strongly -fortified and impregnable po-
sition, as the French commander was astonished and
confounded when he saw that the further progress of his
overwhelming force was effectually arrested, ^'ext day
eix thousand Spaniards, under the Marquis de la Romana,
joined Welbngton from the Alentejo,

The lines of Torres Vedras extended from the Tagus on

140 ORIGIN AND SERnCES OF

imo. the right, or east, to the sea on the west. General Hill's
division occupied the village of Alhandra on the fight,
which was flanked bv a number of omn-boats; Cranford's
division joined their left. On the mountain which over-
hung Sobral, and completely commanded the great road
to Lisbon, was a strong redoubt, occupied by a brigade of
Portumiese commanded bv General Pack. The first
division under Lieutenant-General Spencer, including the
brigade of Guards, vras stationed in the centre. Picton's
division communicated with Spencer s on the light, and
with General Cole's on the left, which last carried on the
line of defence to the sea.

Whilst affairs were in this state south of the Mondego,
Trant, having taken up a position on the Vouga to cover
()poTU} after the retreat of die armies from Busaco, had
resolved to surprise whatever force Massena might have
left in Coimbra, and accordingly reached Mealhada in the
nisrht of the sixth of October. From thence he advanced
next day to Coimbra, in front of which, at the village of
Femos, he came suddenlv on one of the enemy's advanced
p'iSts. He entered the gates unobserved, and after an
honr> resistance the French, to the number of five thou-
Band, chieflv sick and wounded, surrendered. Trant*s loss
did not exceed twent\'-five or thirty men. A company of
tb^ Imperial Marine Guards fell into his hands, with the
ljo«:jital stores and medical staff of the enemy. By this
movement of Trant 's, Massena was loft to the scantv re-
sources of his immediate ^-icinit^-, boinc: deprived from that
time of all communication beyond his own patroles in the
direction of the rivers Zozere. and Mondo<ro.

The French army suffered crcatly from want of sup-
plies and exposure to the weather. Marshal Massena,
who could no loncrer conceal from himself the hopelessness
of the task he had undertaken, after remaining inactive

teenth of November, for the purpose of taking up a line of
cantonments in the vicinity of Thomar.

The Allied army followed the enemy towards Santarem,
when the Guards passed through Alenquer and Cartaxo.
Wellington made a demonstration for an attack. The
Guards were to cross the causeway; but the guns not
arriving, the advance was postponed until the following
day. At six o'clock a.m. on the twentieth the brigade of
Guards assembled at their alarm-post ; but in consequence
of the rain that had fallen during the night, the low
country in front of the enemy's position was so flooded as
to render any attempt at passing dangerous and uncertain.

On the enemy being discovered in great force, the troops
were withdrawn, and the army went into cantonments.
The Guards returned to Cartaxo, at which place head-
quarters were established: the remainder of the army
were cantoned at Alcoentre, Rio Mayor, Azembuja, Alen-
quer, and Villa Franca. Hill's corps crossed the Tagus,
and went into quarters at Barcos, Chamusca, and Care-
giro.

At the end of December General Drouet with ten December,
thousand men reinforced Massena's army : this corps went
into cantonments in and about Lyria.

" that upon every occasion on which the troops are a&seio-

" brought to trial before a general court-martial, but no

On the night of the fifth tlie French retreated,
head-quarters removed to Santarem, where the Guardsfl
were stationed.

on their approach the enemy retired from Thomar,
concentrated at Pombal. The Allied army came up wital
them on the evening of the eleventh, too late, howevei
for a general attack : the day closed with a smart skirmish,
when, the enemy were so vigorously driven out of the town
that they had not time to blow up the bridge which had
been previously mined. Massena retreated in the night;
but before quitting Pombal he set it on fire.

- Ney was found posted with a strong force in front of isii.
Redinha: the masses deployed, and the British moved in
three lines across the plain : the enemy's rear-guard, after
an obstinate resistance, hastily retired on Condeixa.

On this occasion the loss was nearly equals not exceed-
ing altogether four hundred men.

Massena's object was to retard the' advance of the
Allies, and in this he succeeded, as the positions on
which his rear was generally posted required a march of
several hours to turn their flank.

Greneral Montbrun with a force of cavalry and a few guns
summoned Coimbra. The place was saved by the firm
reply and admirable conduct of Trant, although he had only
two hundred of his Militia with him, having received
orders from General Barcellar on the eleventh instant to
withdraw the greater part of his force to cover Oporto.
The French General, under the impression that a British
detachment had landed at Fio^iiera to reinforce that offi-
cer, then gave up all idea of crossing the Mondego.
, The enemy occupied strong ground at Condeixa, and Mar. i5tli.
appeared determined to continue stationary ; but this short
halt was only intended by Massena to give time for his
baggage to precede him on the Ponte de Marcella road.
This being ascertained by Lord Wellington, he resolved to
frustrate the plan, and instantly despatched Picton's di-
vision, with orders to make a circuit of some miles, and
turn the enemy's left. About three o'clock Picton was
discovered by the French rear-guard, and his appearance
occasioned great confusion among them. The enemy fired
the town, and their columns fell back on Cazal Nova, at
which place Ney halted in so formidable a position that it
was again found necessary to turn his flank : on this being
done, he fell back on another. In short, the country pre-
sented a succession of favourable positions adapted to

Msr. H<h. abled to retire in good order on Miranda de Corvo. From
this place Wellington once more obliged the enemy to
retreat, which caused them to destroy the greater part of
their etores, ammunition, and baggage, as they were de-
Mar, is th. ficient in the means of transport. Next day theAlheswere
detained several hours by a thick f<^, which cleared about
nine, when the troops continued the pursuit of the French
through Miranda de Corvo. This place having been burnt,
was a heap of smoking ruins.

Ney was strongly posted in the afternoon of the fifteenth
with hia right on a wood, and his left resting on the village
of Fez d'ArouBe. A false attack was made on his right ;
at the same moment his left was surprised by Picton, and
an advantageous position being selected for the horse ar-
tillery, the French were throw into disorder, which was
increased by the darkness that so soon follows sun-set in
Portugal. Numbers of the enemy were trampled to death.
In their confusion they also fired on each other ; and the
bridge was so crowded from their anxiety to cross the river,
that no less than two hundred and fifty were drowned.

At half-past seven o'clock next morning the Coldstreaill^
advanced from the low ground to crown the height j
viously occupied by General Picton's division.

After halting a day to enable the commissariat to '
forward supplies, of which the Allied troops were in great
want, the hghtdivision forded the Ceira ontlie seventeenth
of March, and the remainder of the army crossed over a
bridge constructed during the night. The enemy stationed
themselves behind the Alva, having destroyed the bridge
near Pombeira and Marcella. WeUington ordered two
divisions to ford the river near Pombeira, which movement
threatened to cut off" the enemy's communication with
Mm, iBiL. Celerico, and compelled Massena to retire in great haste^

THE COLDS1RF.AM GUARDS. 147

leaving the foragers he had sent ont to their fale: nearly a i8ii.
thousand of them were taken. And here the French again
destroyed their baggage and ammuuition.

About one o'clock p. m. the Guards left the heights aur. i9ih.
above Pombetra ; the hrst division forded the Alba at
Sarsedas.

From the deficiency of supplies Welhngtoa found it im-
possible to proceed ; he was therefore obliged to wait for
the arrival of provisions, and in consequence Massena on
the twenty-first reached Celerico unmolested.

The army having halted a few days, marched on Cele-
rico, where the brigatde of Guards arrived on the twenty-
ointh.

Massena occupied Guarda, a town built on the top of a
steep hill, forming part of the Estrella range of mountains:
the place commanded from its position the whole sur-
rounding country. Thus situated, be conceived himseir
secure from any attack. Wellington, nevertheless, de-
termined to make the attempt. Hie arrangemeuts were so
skilful, that on the moruing of the twenty-ninth the Allied
columns were not discerned by the enemy untd tliey had
nearly gained the summit ; the French, surprised and
confoonded, retreated without firing a shot, fi-om perhaps
the strongest ground they could have occupied.

Massena, however, still felt anxious to make it appear
that he could maintain himself in Portugal: for this pur-
pose he took a position along the Cos ; bis right, extending
to Ruivina, protected the ford of Rapoulha de Coa ; his
left readied to Sabugal, and a corps was stationed at
, Alfayates.

Ttant and Wilson had crossed the Coa near Almeida to
threaten the enemy's communication with Spain.' The
right of tlie Allies was opposite Sabugal, the left at the
bridge of Ferreras. At day-break on the third of April April 3rd.

1811. the cavalry forded the Coa on the rieht. The light di-'
Tision passed three miles above Sabugal ; the fifth was to
cross the bridge ; and the third division forded at a short
distance above. The biidge of Ferreras was observed by
the seventh division, and the sixth was stationed opposite
Ruivina. The morning vtras dark, with thick fog accompanied
by storms of rain. The action was commenced by a bat-
talion of the Rifle brigade, who after being chai^ged, got
possession of an enclosure, which they retained against the
efforts of the whole of Regnier's corps until the remainder
of the light division came to their assistance. The contest
was then carried on with great vigour; but on the approach
of the fifth division, the French retired on Rendo, leaving
three hundred dead, and a howitzer on the field, besides
twelve hundred prisoners. The loss of the Allies did not
exceed one hundred and seventy killed and wounded.^
The pursuit continued to Alfayates, when the French
entered Spain. Portugal, with the exception of the
garrison of Almeida, was now entirely freed from their
troops.

Thus ended the third French invasion of Portugal
under Massena, '^ I'enfant g&t^ de la Fortune." Napoleon
had sent with him to that devoted country the chosen
veterans of France ; men who had conquered at Marengo,
at Austerlitz, and Jena. At first the French army imagined
the lines of Torres Vedras might be easily forced, and
considered the entire subjugation of Portugal, the plunder
of Lisbon, and the favourite idea of sending the British
to their ships, objects of easy accomplishment. Such
were the " ChSiteaux en Espagne" built by the French
when this memorable invasion was undertaken ; nor were

* The French had intended to fire a feu-de-joie for the birth of
the King of Rome.

THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS. 149

their illusive hopes destroyed until they had approached ^^u.
those lines. When, however, Massena found himself
unable to make any impression on them, and that neither
forage, provisions, nor any other necessary for an army,
could be obtained, he, with bitter conviction, saw that
the superior foresight and skill of Wellington had de-
stroyed all his hopes of aggrandizement, of glory, of the
crown of Portugal, and of additional trophies for the
troops of Napoleon !

It is impossible for an Englishman and a soldier not to
exult in the recollection of this glorious campaign. But
the writer forbears to enlarge on the subject: the facts
speak for themselves, and the indignant reprimand which
Massena received from Napoleon through his Minister-at-
War, alike expressive of the surprise and disappointment
of that excellent judge of military operations, is the proper
commentary on the successful defence of Portugal under
circumstances originally so unpromising. In his address
to the Portuguese, JM assena had announced that he entered
their country at the head of one hundred thousand men, and
asked; with no small appearance of reason, whether the
feeble army of the British General could reasonably expect
to oppose the victorious legions of France ? The Marshal
answered his own question when he was at length com-
pelled to declare in his justification to his angry master,
that the principles of military science did not permit him
to attempt the lines of Torres Vedras.

It is no reproach to Sir John Moore, who ranked among
the bravest and most intelligent British generals of his
time, to say, that what all men but Wellington thought
impossible, appeared impossible to him.

The letter of that general to Lord Castlereagh, written at
no very long period before Sir Arthur Wellesley directed
the lines of Torres Vedras to be constructed, will prove

THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS. 151

The French generals, to whom erery inch of ground i8ii<
in the Peninsula was known, held Ae same opinion.

Napoleon, determined to bring Ae whole of the Penin*
sola under the sway of France, had formed the plan 6f
placing his brother Joseph on the throne of Spain, and
one of his genends, either Junot or Massena, on that of
Portogal. The soocess which had hitherto attended the
Frendi arms, the ignorance of military affidn, and the
want of every requisite for the formation of an army, either
among the Spaniards or Portt^ese, were soch — the
imbedlity of their governments, the superstition, it may
be added, the state of degradation into which the
population of both countries, had sunk, were so notorious,
that neither the Emperor of the French, nor any of
his Marshals, imagined that serious opposition to his
schemes would be attempted. He boldly proclaimed to
France and to Europe that he would plant his eagles on
the towers of Lisbon ! and whai Napoleon uttered a
prophecy, he had prepared what he deemed ample means
for its accomplishment. No sooner did he find himself
unexpectedly opposed in the Peninsula, than he became
fully aware of the importance of carrying his point; not
so much from the vanity of disposing of the thrones of two
such kingdoms, as from the conviction, that if he failed
in his attempt, the character he had acquired and
wished to confirm, of invincibility, would be lost; and
that the efiect on France, his army, and Europe, would
prove highly injurious to his hitherto admitted supre-
macy. He therefore poured his legions into Spain;
determined by force, or, if necessary, by extermination, to
obtain that which the good-will of the people would not
grant.

The amount of the French troops in Spain and Portugal

162

ORIGIN AND SERVICES OF

1811. was nearly three hundred thousand men ; ^ and the only
obstacle to the entire subjugation of the Peninsula
was the force under Wellington, consisting of forty-eight
thousand eight hundred and fifty-seven;^ not more thaa-
one-sixth of the number of the French.

Napoleon's orders to his commanders were to expel
the English ; and indeed the execution of these orders,
after the retreat of Sir John Moore» was considered by
the French generals by no means difficult.

Wellington, conscious that his handful of men would
have to contend against the whole French power in the
Peninsula, which sooner or later would be brought to bear
against him ; knowing also the little reliance that could
be placed either on the Spanish Junta or on the Spa-
nish generals who commanded their troops, conceived the
idea of fortifying the passes in front of Lisbon ; and
with the Tagus on one flank, and the sea on the other, to
make a stand, and there to decide whether the con*
quest of the Peninsula by Napoleon, or its liberation by
himself, should be achieved. This plan was not a concep-^
tion of the moment ; it was deliberately adopted after

the maiurest calculation of its practicability and attendant isir
difficulties.

. Wellington saw that Portugal might be defended by lines
drawn so as to cover Lisbon, and secure to the protecting
force supplies from the Tagus on one side and the sea on
the other.^ The successful result of his measures, and
the ignorant declamatimis uttered against them in Par*
liament* are now matter of history.

At Torres Vedras the French met with a complete
check; their plan of operations was entirely broken;
and they were obliged to retreat, discomfited and dis-
heartened, into Spain, whither they were followed by the
British, flushed with the anticipation of success, and with
a confidence in their leader which was the pledge of
victory.

The political influence of this retreat can scarcely be ap*
predated : it proved to Europe that the French were not
invincible ; it evinced the good effects of a determined op-

' The following is the suhstance of the Doke of Wellington's
obserrations on the defence of Lisbon :

** The Tagus cannot be passed but at a certain point; you
** have therefore only to rest one flank of the army on that river,
** and, having a naval superiority, you may defy any attack, and
*' are perfectly secure on that side. The sea covers the other
'* flank, the distance of which from the river is not more than
'* twenty miles. An army therefore of forty or fifty thousand
** men may resist, in a mountainous and difficult country, any
** force which an enemy could bring into the field, even without
'* intrenchments/' As the British army consisted of a great pro-
portion of militia and Portuguese troops, in whom at one time
not much confidence could he placed, the Duke thought it a
necessary security to cause works to be erected ; and, having
plenty of time, they were prepared accordingly. Had the Allies
been less ably commanded, those lines would never have been
constructed, and the troops must have embarked, leaving Portugal
to its fate.

courted Russia iu withstanding his outr^eoua demand,
that British commerce should be excluded from her ports.
The lines of Torres Vedras broke the wand of the enchaa-
ter, and led to that resistance by the Northern States of
Europe, which ended in the downfall of French dominion,
and of a man as remarkable for the great powers of his
nund as for his inordinate ambition; whose activity
ahd military talents were commensurate with his anxiety
to extend his sway over mankind, and with his indif-
ference to the evib he inflicted on his fellow-creatures in
pursuing that object.

Tiie desolation in Portugual occasioned by Massena's
invading army can scarcely be conceived : not an article of
subsistence ' was to be found ; every town and village was
deserted ; the wine that could not be consumed was
left running in the gutters ; the corn-stacks burnt ; in the
houses, which from want of means or time were not de-
stroyed, all the furniture was broken; neither horse, mule,
cow, nor aas, not even a goat, could be seen. The
women captured by the French in their marauding excur-
sions were brought in as to a market and sold for the
benefit of the captors ; many of these unfortunate females
were left to perish by famine and disease remote from their
native villages. Lord Wellington in his dispatch says:
" The conduct of the French army, throughout this retreat,
" has been marked by a barbarity seldom equalled,
" and never surpassed. Even in the towns of Torres
" Novas, Thomar, and Pernes, in which head-quarters of
" some of the corps had been for some months, and
" in which the inhabitants were induced by promises of
" good treatment to remain, they were plundered and

After the enemy quitted Portugal, the Allies were sta-
tioned near the Duas Casas, the out-posts at Gallegos and
on the Agueda. All communication between the gar-
rison of Almeida and the French was cut off.

The brigade of Guards halted on the ninth at Alma-
dilla, having forded the Coa above Sabugal, and pass-
ing through Aldea Velha. On the seventeenth the Cold-
stream moved, for the convenience of qnarters, to
Puebla.

Badajoz had surrendered to Soult on the eleventh of
March, when the garrison laid down their arms; and on
the twenty-first of February ten thousand infantry and
six hundred cavalry had been embarked at Cadiz for
Tarifa, to make a diversion by attacking the enemy's
rear at Chiclana. The tempestuous state of the weather
forced them into Algesiras, where they landed and
marched the following day Jfor Tarifa. There they were
joined by the Twenty-eighth regiment, the flank compa-
nies of the Ninth and Eighty-second regiments, amount-
ing to about four thousand five hundred men, including
two companies of Portuguese and some German hussars,
under General Graham. On the twenty- seventh of Fe-
bruary General La Pena with about seven thousand Spa-
niards arrived; and next day the troops were re-o(^nized,
and Graham, taking command of the British, consented
to act under the Spanish General. The vanguard was
given to Lardizabel, and the cavalry were commanded by
Colonel Whittinghara, Marescal del Campo in the service
of Spsin.

Id the nights of the third and fourth of March the

^8ii' enemy attacked the Spanish force, and were repuked.
Next day a detachment from St. Roque joined the Allies
under General Bejines, but retired after some skirmishing.
La Pena then opened his communication with the Isia
de Leon, and ordered his troops to crown the heights of
Bermeja, having directed Graham to support him. The
General obeyed ; but no sooner had he entered the wood
than the Spanish commander withdrew, giving orders that
his cavalry should follow him. La Pena then marched to
the river Santi Petri, leaving the heights of Barrosa^
which were covered with baggage, to be protected by
only five battalions and four guns.

During Graham's advance two divisions of the enemy
were discovered ; one of them made for the heights of Bar-
rosa, the other marched on his flank.

The Duke of Belluno had under his command lune
thousand men belonging to the divisions of Land»
Ruffin, and Villatte, with fourteen guns : about two thou-
sand five hundred belonging to the division of the latter
had orders to watch the Spaniards at the Santi Petri and
Bermeja.

The ground was an extensive plain, nearly surrounded
by a pine forest, and crossed by uneven sandy heights,
which rose from the shore. The hill of Barrosa was
about a mile from the mouth of the Santi Petri.

The French General perceiving Graham's situation,
and aware of the relative position of the Spanish troops,
immediately ordered Laval to attack him, whilst he
attempted to cut off the detachment on the road to Medi-
na ; for which purpose he ascended the opposite side of
the hill, where the five battalions, with the guns, baggage,
&c. had been left by La Pena. The enemy succeeded in
taking three of the guns; on which the Spanish troops imr
mediately dispersed.

Graham, finding it impossible to retreat without giving isii.
his adversary a decided advantage, at once determined on
becoming the assailant.

The British column had been marching, right in front,
for an hour and a half through the wood, when Major
Brown told General Graham that the enemy were formed
on a rising ground which the column had recently
quitted. The troops in consequence countermarched
under a heavy fire of artillery, and formed in two
masses. The right column, led by Brigadier-General
Dilkes, moved against Ruffin, who had crowned the sum-
mit of Barrosa : at the same time Colonel Wheatly
attacked the right of the enemy, and, after a sharp con-
tested fire, continued to advance. The Eighty-seventh
regiment, and two companies of the Coldstream Guards
under Lieutenant-Colonel Jackson» made an intrepid
charge, which threw the enemy back in great disorder.
Ruffin's troops on the hill manfully contested the height;
but, notwithstanding all their efforts, the English drove
the French from the position, on which they left three
guns, after a severe loss.

General Graham was unable to follow up his suc-
cess, as his men had been under arms for twenty-four
hours, during which time they received no supply of ra-
tions.

The attack on Barrosa, which did not continue more
than two hours, reflects great credit on the troops en-
gaged.

The enemy suffered severely, and lost two Generals,
Ruffin and Rousseau, the latter being mortally wounded;
one eagle, six guns, and upwards of two thousand five
hundred men killed, wounded, and prisoners. The Bri-
tish loss amounted to eleven hundred and sixty-nine. The
following is a copy of General Graham's dispatch :

Jnliaii Sanchez, and supported by the seventh division.

The French Marshal was occupied on the fouilh in re-
connoitring the position. During the night the Duke

to tile left. About six o'clock next morning Massena
carried the village of Por5o Velho: the light division and
cavalry were sent to support General Houston ; at the same
time the first and third divisions moved to their right. The
Guards were thrown back en potence. The enemy 'a ca\-alry,

seventh division. Don J ulian Sanchez left Nava d' Aver with
liis men, and placed himself immediately iu front of the
Guards : here his lieutenant was unfortunately shot by a
soldier of the Coldstream, who mistook him for a French-
man. Some advantageous ground on which the English
cavalry were stationed being abandoned, was instantly
seized by the French. The liglit division then advanced
to support the cavalry, but, finding the height occupied,
formed into squares, and retired in good order, repelling

were concentrated towards the left, on the seventh, the
light divisions and cavalry moving on Fuentes d'Honor.
The two remaining divisions followed in succession. Wel-
lington now found himself obliged to abandon his com-
munication across the Coa by the bridge of Sahugal. The
position extended along the height from Turon to the Duas
Casas. The first division was on the right, in two Unes ;
Colonel Ashworth's brigade in the centre ; and the third
division, also in two bnes, on the left. The village of Fu-
entes d'Honor, in their front, was occupied by the light

troops. The light division and cavalry were in reserve.
The infantry of Don Julian joined the seventh division in
Freynada, Tlie French cavalry advanced in mass under a
heavy cannonade to within a short distance of the line
where the Guards were formed, when the brigade of nine-
pounders under Captain Lawson opened, and obliged the
enemy to halt. After a kw rounds of grape, they went
about in great confusion. The piquets of the first division,
under Lieu ten ant-Col ouel Hill of the Third Guards, suc-
ceeded in repulsing a chaise of the enemy's cavalry ; but
in making their way to the cover of the army they were
again attacked and broken before any force could be sent
to their assistance. Lieatenant-C'olonel Hill was taken
prisoner, others were wounded, and the party was over-
powered. The French throughout the day were unremit-
ting in their attacks on Fuentes d'Honor, where several
regiments and officers greatly distinguished themselves.
On one occasion the Seventy-first, Seventy- ninth, and
Eighty-eighth regiments, belonging to Colonel Henry Mac
Kinnon's brigade, were ordered up. Led by that officer,
they gallantly chained a heavy mass of infantry that had
gained the chapel eminence, and drove the French through
the village with great slaughter. The contest lasted till
night, when the fire gradually slackened; the upper part
of the village was retained by the British, and the enemy
made no further attempt.' The casualties in the Coldstream
were, four rank and file killed ; Captain Harvey, two sei^

Massena was recalled to France, and the Duke
gnsa, who had been appointed to the command of tlie
army of Portugal in his stead, arrived from Paris on the
seventh oF May. On the same day the French retreated.

A loud explosion was heard at twelve o'clock on the
night of the eleventh, General Brennier the Commandant
of Almeida having sprung a mine in order to facilitate hia
escape with the garrison, consisting of about fifteen hun-
dred men. This he accomplished by a sudden and well-
conducted movement. General Pack, who commanded
the investing piquets, hastily collected some troops and
followed, keeping up a constant 6re on the rear of the
French, which was not returned; neither did they slacken
their pace, but marched across the country, protected by
the darkness of the night, and descended the valley of
Barba del Puerco. They lost many men, but their main
body succeeded ill reaching the bridge on the Coa, where
they found the second French corps drawn up in order of
battle to cover them."
I. Having assumed the command, Marmont retired towards
Salamanca, in the neighbourhood of which town his army
was placed in cantonments.

On the eleventh the Guards returned to the places
they had occupied previous to the action. The fifth, sixth,
and light divisions were left on the Agueda and Coa. The
first division moved from their cantonments and marched
in the evening of the twenty-fSfth through Soita to Pena-

qoired in the south. The Guards returned through May frth.
Sabugal, and arrived at Almadilla and Puebla. Biay 29th.

Beresford had on the eighth of May completely invested
Badajoz.

Marshal Soult left Seville with the intention of succour-
ing the town ; on his march he was reinforced with fresh
troops.

Beresford in consequence raised the siege and advanced
to meet him, when it was agreed with Blake, who com-
manded the Spaniards in this direction, that the Allied
army should take up a position at the village of Albuera,
and Beresford, though junior, was allowed to take the
command-in-chief pro tempore. They occupied the po- May i5tb.
sition with nearly thirty thousand infantry, of which seven
thousand only were British, two thousand cavalry, and
thirty-eight pieces of artillery.

Soult's force consisted of twenty thousand infantry,
three thousand cavalry, and forty guns. The Allies re-
mained masters of the field. As the Guards took no part
at Albuera, a description of that battle is not here inserted.
It may, however, be remarked, that Lord Beresford's
conduct throughout the day proved him to merit that
character and consideration in the army, which he has
always maintained.

The intrepidity of the British infantry, on whom the
brunt of the battie fell, was conspicuously displayed in this
action. Fifteen hundred men only remained out of seven
thousand. The loss of the French was also very con-
siderable.

Wellington learnt, by an intercepted letter, on the tenth Jane,
of June, that Marmont intended to unite with Soult in the
Alentejo. The siege of Badajoz, which had been renewed

1«4

urUUlN AND SERVICES OK

afler the battle of Albuera, was id consequence of this q
formation converted into a blockade.

The Coldstream left Puebla on the fifth for AlmadillaH
next day the brigade of Guards marched from that place
with the corps under Spencer, and moved from the north
in a parallel direction with Marmont, passing Sabugal and
Castello Branco. They then crossed the Tagus and pro-
ceeded to Portalegre, where the Coldstream halted three
days. On the twenty -third of June they encamped near
St. Oloia, when, to protect them from the great heat, the
troops were hutted. A draft joined the regiment from
Cadiz on the twenty-fifth, consisting of Captain the
Honourable John Walpole, Ensign Greville, three serjeanta,
and ninety-eight rank and file; soon after the first division
was reviewed by Lord Wellington, accompanied by the
Prince of Orange.

Soult returned to Seville, and Marmont advanced to
Salamanca, l)eing unable to provide supplies for their
army when together.

Hill's corps remained in the Alentejo. The brigade of
Guards left St. Oloia, reached Portalegre the twenty-
tliird, and on the thirty-first received orders to return to
the north. Lord Welhngton recrossed the Tagus with
the rest of the army, and fixed his head-quarters at
Fuente Guinaldo.

On the sixth of September, General Graham succeeded
Sir Brent Spencer in the command of the first division.

Lord Welhngton blockaded Ciudad Rodrigo : on the
approach of Marmont he retired, and occupied a defensive
position. The British general was not prepared to besiege
the place ; his object being to obhge the enemy to with-
draw from Galicia and Navarre, and thus give relief to
those oppressed provinces.

General Picton was in advance on the height of El

THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS. 165

Bodon, between Fuente Guinaldo and Pastores. The isii.
light division was near Martiago. The left wing, in which
were the Guards, was in the lower Azava. Sir Stapleton
Cotton with the cavalry was in the centre.

Marmont joined his forces virith General Dorsenne on the
twenty-second of September, and relieved Ciudad Ro-
drigo : he entered the place with a large convoy on the
twenty-fourth. The French advanced two days after in
great force, and obliged the Allies to retreat. Next day
the village of Aldea de Ponte was attacked by the enemy,
and gallantly contested by the fourth division. After dark
the British again retreated, and took up a strong position
behind the Soito. Here Wellington offered the enemy
battle, but Marmont fell back on Ciudad Rodrigo; and
Dorsenne returned to the north. The Allied army then
went into cantonments. The brigade of Guards was sta- October,
tioned in front of Celerico ; the Coldstream at Lagoisa,
Valdozares, and afterwards at Pinhel. The head-quarters
were at Freynada.

General Hill left Portalegre on the twenty-second of Octo-
ber, and after three days reached Malpartida. The next
evening he made a forced march to Acuesa, and silently
waited till morning, when he surprised a post under General
Girard at Arroyo de Molinos, which was carried at the
point of the bayonet. Many men were killed, and fifteen
hundred taken, besides General Bnin and the Duke
d'Aremberg, with all their artillery, stores, and baggage.

This was a brilliant exploit, and in itself of suflScient
moment to establish a claim to military eminence. The
reputation of Hill, however, does not rest on a solitary act
of courage or skilful generalship : his name will descend
to posterity interwoven with the triumphs of Wellington.

Marmont having detached four divisions of his army,'!
besides the one under General Dubreton, stationed in the I
province of Las Montanas, Wellington determined at oncfl'l
to lay siege to Ciudad Rodrlgo.

On the sixth, head-quarters were transferred to Galle- I
gos; but from a fall of snow and the inclemency of the I
weather, the army did not move till the eighth, vfhen ]
General Crauford's division crossed the Agueda, and in- \

vested the town. After dark lieutenant-Colonel Colbome tetf .
with a detachment of the light division stormed and car-
ried an advanced redoubt on the great Teson. Sir Thomas
Graham was intrusted with the direction of the siege.
From the eighth instant the Coldstream was quartered at
Espeja. The brigade of Guards formed the working
party in the trenches on the ninth, on which night the first
parallel was established and the several batteries marked
out. The Guards were also in the trenches on the thir-
teenth, whai a fortified convent, situated on the right of
the redoubt before taken, was carried by the light in&ntry
companies, supported by Lord Blantyre's brigade.

The garrison made a sortie on the fourteenth, and were
repulsed without effecting any injury except filling in a
part of the sap. In the evening the batteries opened, and
the convent of St. Francisco, which flanked the approaches
on the left, was escaladed and carried by the Fortieth
regiment.

On the seventeenth the Guards again took their turn in
the trenches.

The second parallel was completed; but Wellington
determined to order an assault the moment the breaches
were deemed practicable, without waiting for the opening
of the sap to blow in the counterscarp ; and as every ex-
ertion was made, two breaches were completed on the
nineteenth. General Picton's division was directed to
storm the greater breach, and General Crauford's the
smaller. After dark the columns moved forward, and in
less than an hour the British were formed on the ram-
parts.

General Crauford was mortally wounded whilst leading
his division up the glacis. General MacKinnon was
killed, with many others, by the unfortunate explosion of
an expense magazine after a shower of grape and mus-

The Allies lost during the i

i and in the stonniii^

about one thousand three hundred men, Seventy-eigfat
officers and seventeen hundred men of the French were
made prisoners, besides a heavy loss in killed
wounded.

The capture of a complete battering train, with mi
zines filled with shot, shells, muskets, cartridges,
other ammunition, was the result of this success.

Afl soon as Ciudad Rodrigo was again placed iu a state
of defence and supplied with stores and provisions, Wel-
lington planned his arrangements for the reduction of
. Badajoz. The army in consequence was put in movement
for the south : iu February no British troops remained
the Agueda or at any point north of the Tagus. Trent
cupied the line of the Coa and its vicinity ; his orders wi
to watch Marmont on the frontier, and also to cover
magazines at Celerico.

The first division left their quarters and passed through
Sabugal to Caatello Branco. The Coldstream, after halt-
ing one day, continued their route by Abrantes to Elvas.
At the latter place the division encamped close to the town,
when tents were furnished the men for the first time. On
the sixteenth they broke up, and the brigade of Guards
crossed the Guadiana over a pontoon bridge below the
town of Badajoz, which was thus invested by the third,
fourth, and light divisions, under Beresford. General'
Graham advanced with the first, sixth, and seventh di*
visions, and two brigades of cavalry, towards Llerena;
whilst General Hill's corps moved from their canton-
ments near Albuquerque to Merida : the enemy on their
approach retired to Cordova.

The siege of Badajoz was prosecuted without intermis-

sion, although torrents of rain had swept away the pon- i^^^-
toon bridge; and from the rapidity of the current, the Mar.sist.
flying-bridges could only be worked with great difficulty.
These obstacles occasioned supplies of all descriptions to
be kept back ; and the trenches on the low ground were
filled with water.

Soult advanced with a large force to the relief of the
town. Graham and Hill then retired on Albuera.

The second parallel was formed; enfilading and breach- April,
ing batteries had been erected ; and on the sixth of April,
after the firing had been kept up seven days, three
breaches were deemed practicable. At ten o'clock p. m.
simultaneous attacks were made; the first that succeeded
was that of Picton's division, led by General Kemp.
General Walker, with his brigade, also entered by esca-
lade on the Olivenga road. General Philippon, the com-
mandant, escaped to St. Christoval, a fort on the opposite
side of the Guadiana, which shortly after surrendered*
The number of prisoners taken in Badajoz amounted to
nearly four thousand: the loss of the Allies from the
commencement of the siege was about five thousand
men.

Wellington left Hill's corps on the south of the Tagus,
and put his army in motion for the north.

During the siege of Badajoz, Marmont had advanced as
far as Castello Branco; but, informed of Wellington's
movement, he retreated towards Ciudad Rodrigo, and
having raised the blockade of that place, retired oq
Salamanca.

Head-quarters were again established at Fuente Gui^ May.

Coa.

Previous to entering Spain, Lord Wellington had or- May i2tlu
dered General Hill to move by Zaraceijo, for the purpose

Almarez, which, if effected, would render the commtiDi)
tion between the enemy's armies on the north and soui
of the Tagus more difficult. All the permanent bridges
had been destroyed during the war by one or other of the
belligerent powers. The bridge at Almarez was covered
at each extremity by strong works, besides being pro-
tected on the south by the castle and redoubts of Miravete.
From the difficulty of approach, it was not till day-bi

The right column then moved to the assault of Fort Nai
poleon, on the left bank of the river. The British rushed
on with tixed bayonets, and drove the enemy over the
bridge; so great was the panic, that the troops in Fort
Ragusa, ou the right bank, abandoned their works, and
fled in disorder. Eighteen guns, and two hundred and
fifty men, were taken. The British loss was under two
hundred. Hill afterwards returned to Almandrelejo.

line I7tb. The army left their cantonments on the Agueda, and
forded the Tormes above and below Salamanca. Two
forts, constructed by the enemy, could only be reduced by
a regular attack: the sixth division, nnder Major-General
Clinton, was therefore selected for this duty; and the
rest of the army was kept in readiness to check the enemy,
who were anxious to hold a communication with the forts.
An attempt to carry the principal fort, St. Vincente,
failed. Major-General Bowes, and one hundred and
twenty men, were killed.

Marmont made a forward movement on the twentii
and found the Allies posted on the height of St. Chris-
tova! ; their right resting on the Tormes near Carbrerizos,
their left near Villares de la Reyna : a skirmish took place
with the cavalry. During the night of the twenty-first

the seventh division. On the night of the twenty-third
Mannont crossed the Tonnes in great force; but finding
that the first, sixth, and seventh divisions, under Graham,
had also forded the river with some cavalry and artillery,
he returned and re-occupied his former ground.

A few days after, the largest of the forts, which had Junetrth.
been battered with red-hot shot, was seen to be on fire.

The men were formed ready for an assault, when a pro-'
position was made to capitulate in three hours; in reply
to which Wellington gave them five minutes to march
out, promising them their baggage. The garrison not
taking advantage of the ofier, the storming party ad-«
vanced, under Lieutenant-Colonel Davies of the Thirty-
sixth regiment : the small fort was carried, and the attack
on St. Vincente had commenced, when the commandant
accepted the proposed terms. About seven hundred men
were made prisoners, the works blown up, and the cap-
tured guns, with the stores, given to the Spaniards. The
Allies lost four hundred and fifty men killed and wounded.

After the capture of these forts Mannont retreated be- July.
hind the Douro, where he concentrated his forces, his
centre resting on Tordesillas.

WelUngton established his head-quarters at Rueda, and
his Une extended from La Seca to Polios.

The French had been reinforced on the seventh by
General Bonnet, with eight thousand men; and their pre-
sent position being most advantageous, Marmont resolved
on becoming the assailant. On the sixteenth large
bodies crossed the river at Toro: the same evening the
British troops moved to Fuente la Pena and Camizal, on
the Guarena. The next day it was ascertained that the
enemy had recrossed the Douro, and were again con-
centrated at Tordesillas, at which place their army

crossed the river, and assembled at Nave del Rey atfl
Castrejon.

Marmont had now opened his communication with thd'
army of the centre, which was on its march from Madrid
to support him: his present object was to prevent the
Allies from having any intercourse with Salamanca and
Ciudad Rodrigo.

On the twenty-first the Allies concentrated on the
Tornies, having repulsed the enemy on the eighteenth,
who had attempted to turn their left and gain the valley of
Carnizal.

Between Huerta and Alba de Tormes the French
crossed the river, pressing forward their left to gain the
Ciudad Rodrigo road. Welhngton also crossed by the
bridge at Salamanca, and before day-light next morning
both armies were in position ; the right of the Allies ex-
tending nearly to the steep heights called the Sister
Arapiles ; their left resting on the Tormes. The enemy's
front was covered by a wood.

At day-break on the twenty-second much skirmishing
took place. A French column advanced about eight
o'clock, and seized the farthest and most extensive height.
The British troops immediately took possession of the
Other. Some changes were then made in the arrange-
ments of the Allied army, and a succession of man<£uvre3
on the part of the enemy showed that it was Marmont's
intention to turn the right of the Allies. Probably
against a less skilful general than Wellington he might
have succeeded. But in making this attempt, which was
covered by a constant skirmish and cannonade along the-

drawn up in two lines behind the village of Arapiles; the ^^^J;.
sixth and seventh, and the Spaniards under Don Carlos
de Espafia, were in column for their support. On the
right was the division of Major-General Pakenham, with
the greater part of the cavalry. The village of Arapiles,
which the enemy made repeated efforts to carry, was
situated between the two armies, and was occupied by the
light companies of the Guards under Lieutenant-Colonel
Woodford of the Coldstream. Pakenham advanced to
the attack with the third division in columns of battalions,
when they wheeled to the left, supported by General
D'Urban's brigade of Portuguese cavalry: on reaching
the height General Pakenham deployed, his right out-
flanking the enemy's left. He then advanced, and car-
ried every thing at the point of the bayonet. The cavalry
made a successful charge in front; during which General
Le Marchant was killed. General Pack, with the Portu-
guese brigade, failed more than once to carry the Arapiles;
the enemy, after repulsing them, advanced from the
height, and suddenly attacked the left of the fourth divi-
sion; the disorder this occasioned was checked by the
advance of part of the fifth. The third and fourth divi-
sions then moved forward, and crowned the height. The
last stand was made by the enemy on their right, who
attempted to rally, their troops having retired in good
order from the Arapiles. Clinton's division was ordered
to attack in front, supported by the third and fifth divi-
sions; the fourth making at the same time a flank move-
ment on the left. Clinton, in this advance, suffered
severely from the fire of the artillery and musketry ; but
he steadily persevered till within a short distance of the
enemy, on whom his troops rushed with the bayonet,
when the fourth division appearing, the French quitted
their position in great disorder. The first and light divi-

The French crossed the Tormes the same
night at Alba, Their loss must have been very great;
besides killed and wounded, seven thousand were made
prisoners. Lord Wellington, in his dispatch, states that
eleven guns were left in possession of the Allies: several
others were afterwards found, making a total of not less
than twenty. The loss on the part of the Allies was five
thousand two hundred. In the Coldstream the casualties
were principally from the light company. Ensign Ho-
tham was wounded; one serjeant, two corporals, and four
privates were killed; three Serjeants, one corporal, one
drummer, and seventeen privates were wounded; eight
men also were missing.

The following is an extract from Lord Wellingtoo'
dispatch : —

" 1 must also mention Lieulenant-Colonel Woodford,
" commanding the hght battalion of the brigade of
" Guards, who, supported by two companies of the Fusi-
" liers, under the command of Captain Crowder, main-
" tained the village of Arapiles against all the efforts of
" the enemy."

At this time the colossal power of Napoleon liad
brought half the population of Christendom under his
sway. He now resolved to undertake an expedition into
Russia. The French army marched in ten corps, under
BavQust, Oudinot, Ney, Kugeue Beauharnais, Ponia-
towski, Gouvion St. Cyr, Regnier, Junot, Victor, and
Macdonald. The body guard was under Le Fevre, and
the young guard under Mortier. The reserve of the ca-
valry, commanded by the King of Naples, was in four
bodies, under Nansouty, Montbrun, Grouchy, and Latour
Maubourg. The cavalry of the Guard, as well as the
Austrian force, acted separately. This army is said to

have exceeded four hundred and seventy-five thousand isis.
men^ besides one hundred thousand auxiliaries. It
perished miserably among the snows of Russia.

The Duke of Ragusa having been wounded, the com-
n^and devolved on General Clause!, who retreated to Val-
ladolid, followed by the British, which town the latter
entered on the thirteenth ; but as the French General
continued his retreat to Burgos, Wellington determined
to march against the army of the centre, and for this pur-
pose repassed the Douro. After remaining some days at
Cuellar, he moved by Segovia to Madrid, leaving some Aug. 7th.
troops under General Paget near the Douro.

King Joseph had quitted Madrid on the twenty-first of
July to unite with Marmont; but hearing of that General's
defeat on the twenty-fifth near Airivole, he retreated on
Segovia, with the expectation that Wellington would fol-
low, hoping to draw his attention firom Clausel. On the
first of August Joseph fell back, leaving behind him some
dragoons, who were defeated by General D'Urban's Por-
tuguese brigade of cavalry.

The Allies entered Madrid on the twelfth, and were
received with great enthusiasm by the population.

Joseph, with the army of the centre, had retired from
the Capital on the preceding evening, taking the road to
Toledo, leaving about seventeen hundred men at Fort La
China, in the palace of the Retiro, who surrendered next
day.

On the twenty-fifth the French abandoned their works
opposite Cadiz and the Isla. Two days afterwards the
combined force, under General La Cruza and Colonel
Skerret, entered Seville. Here the enemy attempted to
defend the bridge, but the grenadiers of the First Guards
charged with the bayonet, and put them to flight ; several
of their number were left dead in the streets, and more

than two hundred prisoners were taken, with a quantity
of baggage, horses, and money.

The first division of the AlHed army lefit Madrid, and
waR quartered in the palace of the Escurial with the foi
fifth, and sixth divisions.

King Joseph joined Suchet in Valencia; Soult was
Granada.

With the exception of one battalion, all the Englisbl
had marched from Cadiz. General Hill, who was at
TnixiUo, intended to advance on Oropesa, to act in conceit
with the army under WeUlngton.
r- On the first of September Wellington left Madrid, and
entered Valladolid, where the Guards remained a few
days, and marched to Burgos, the castle of which,
strongly defended by field-works bristled with cannon,
commanded the river. The place was invested on the
night of the nineteenth, and the siege intrusted to the first
and sixth divisions. During the night a detachment IJom
the Forty-second regiment stormed and carried a horn-work
on the hill of St. Michael, which covered the lower wall of
the castle. Next day batteries were erected on this hill.
In the night of the twenty-second the besiegers endea-
voured to escalade and establish themselves on the outer
wall and first line of field-works ; they failed however in
■ the attempt, and retired with considerable loss, A week
after a mine was exploded : working parties had been con-
stantly in the trenches constructing batteries, hut the
breach was not deemed practicable.

Early in October, the Commander of the Forces had oc-
casion to notice in Orders the misconduct of several of
these working parties, but at the same time observed, that
'■ he was happy to make an exception in favour of the
" Guards, who, he is informed, have invariably performed
" this duty, as they have every other in this army, in the.
" most exemplary manner."

and a lodgement effected between the outer wall and the
first line of field-works ; but the garrison drove back the
British, who however, on being reinforced, obliged the
French to retire behind their defences. Before day-light
on the eighth the garrison made a rush, overthrew the
guard, and destroyed all the works between the second
line and outer wall. Another and last attempt was made
on the eighteenth, but the heavy fire from the garrison
rendered it impossible for the assailants to maintain their
ground.

The loss of the Allies during the siege exceeded two
thousand, which was about equal to that of the garrison.^

'' had been possible to maintain the posts^which they had
'* gained with so much gallantry, these troops would have
'^ maintained them. Some of the men stormed even the
** third line, and one was killed in one of the embrasures
'' of that line.

*^ I had reason to be satisfied with the conduct of the
^* officers and troops during the siege of Burgos, particu-
" larly with the brigade of Guards."

The siege of Burgos^ was raised on the twenty-first:
during the night the army filed under the walls of the
castle, and crossed the bridge of the Arlanzon, which, al-
though enfiladed by the artillery, was accomplished with
scarcely any loss. By crossing this bridge, a march was
gained on the enemy, who followed.
Oct.24tb. Reinforcements which had disembarked at Corunna
under the Earl of Dalhousie, composed principally of the
first brigade of Guards, joined the army in position behind
Oct. 25th. the Carrion. Next day the bridges over tlie Carrion and
Pisuerga were blown up to arrest the progress of the
Oct. 29th. enemy.

After the Allies left Cabe5on they destroyed the bridge,
and crossed the Douro at Tudela and Puentc del Duero.
These bridges were also blow^n up; but in the evening the
French passed in considerable force, by swimming the
river near the bridge of Tordesillas. They then attacked
and carried the ruins of the bridge, which was defended by
a German battalion, and restored their communications.

* The name of the French officer who commanded in Burgos
was Colonel he Breton. After the restoration of the Bourbons
this officer held the rank of Lieutenant-General, and whilst com-
manding in Strasburg, had an opportunity of paying military ho-
nours with that garrison to the Duke of Wellington, who was
then on an inspection of the frontiers.

THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS. 181

Wellington^ the next morning, moved to the left, and i8is.
occupied nearly the same groond which the Allies had
quitted previous to their former retreat on Salamanca.
In this position the troops remained till the sixth, v^hen NoTember.
they retired to Torrecilla del Ordem^ and three days after-
wards found themselves once more on the heights of St.
Christoval, in front of Salamanca. Wellington broke up
from the position and retired on Ciudad Rodrigo, which
town he reached on the eighteenth. During the march
from St. Christoval to Ciudad Rodrigo, the weather was
extremely inclement, and the troops suffered severely irom
heavy roads, cold, and constant rain, which made it even
difficult for them to light their fires; the supply of rations
was also irregular.

The army crossed the Agueda, and on the twenty-fourth Not. i9th
of November head-quarters were once more established at *^^^'
Freynada.

General Hill returned to Estramadura.

The troops went into cantonments for the winter. The Dec.
Coldstream reached Musquetello on the sixth of December,
where they were quartered.

1813. The loss sustained by Napoleon in Russia caused the
defection of Prussia. The Crown Prince of Sweden called
on the Germans to aid in the great work of restoring
liberty to Europe, After the negociations at Prague,
Austria united with Russia, and Bavaria followed the ex-
ample. The Russians advanced to the Elbe, and forced
the French troops to retreat before them. The hostility
of their former allies made the French suspicious of
those that remained ; and Napoleon thought it prudent
to concentrate, that his communication with France mis:bt
not be interrupted.

THE COL]>STR£AM GUARDS. 185

Soulty with a considerable portion of his troops, had i8i5.
been ordered to join the grand army in Germany: but
notwithstanding this diminution, the force left in Spain
amounted to upwards of one hundred and fifty thousand
men ; part of whom were in Catalonia and Valencia, the
remainder spread over Castille, Leon, and the northern
provinces.

All the requisite preparations for opening the campaign May.
being completed, on the sixteenth of May five divisions
under Graham crossed the Douro in boats, with orders to
march on Zamora. Wellington, with the cavalry undejr
General Fane, and a corps of Spaniards, reached Sala-
manca towards the end of the month. Sir Rowland Hill
also arrived there from Estramadura.

The divisions under Graham first came up with the
enemy on the Esla, who offered no opposition, but retired,
destroying the bridges of Zamora and Toro. Pontoons
were laid down and formed a bridge, over which the Allies
crossed, and halted near Zamora.

The French who occupied Madrid, and those on the June.
Tagus, passed the Douro. Valladolid was evacuated,
and the enemy retired to Burgos, a strong post.

After a reconnoissance under Sir Rowland Hill, General June iitb.
Reille was dislodged from the heights of Hormaza. The
French army retired on Vittoria during the night of the
twelfth of June, after having blown up about four hundred
of their men in destroying the castle of Burgos. The Al-
lies then moved to the left and crossed the Ebro near its
source by the bridges of St. Martin and Fuentes de
Arenas.

On the eighteenth the light division was successful
against a body of infantry. The enemy at Osma made a
sharp attack on the first and fifth divisions under Graham,
and although much superior in numbers, were repulsed

186 ORIGIN AND SERVICES OF

1813. and followed to Espejo. In this affair four men of the
Coldstream were wounded.

In the night of the twelfth, the French, commanded by
King Joseph, Marshal Jourdan acting as his Major-Crene-
Jane 19th. ral, concentrated in front of Vittoria ; their right was
stationed near that town, and extended across the Zadora
on high ground covered by field-works; their left ran be-
hind the river to the village of Subijana d'Alava, with an
advance-post resting on the height in front, which termi-
nated at Puebla d'Arlanzon; and the centre occupied a
hill commanding the valley of Zadora. In this position
their right covered the road from Bilboa, their left that
from Logrono, and their centre the great road from
Madrid.

Wellington reconnoitred the enemy's position on the
June tut, twentieth. Next morning he advanced in three corps; the
right, composed of the second division, with a division of
Portuguese under the Conde de Amarante, and Morillo's
Spanish corps, commanded by Hill. The centre con-
sisted of the fourth and light divisions. The left, com-
prising the first and fifth divisions with a body of cavalry,
was under Graham. To this force was attached a division
of Spaniards, who were ordered to make a wide move-
ment, cross the Zadora, and enter the great road from
Valladolid to Bayonne, and intercept the enemy in their
retreat.

The right of the Allies first engaged above Puebla, and
drove the enemy from the heights : reinforcements were
sent from both sides ; and after some severe fighting the
hill was taken, retaken, and taken again ; when it remained
in possession of General Hill's corps, who followed up his
success. The centre divisions passed the Zadora over some
bridges intended for foot-passengers. Pic ton's and the
seventh division crossed the bridge on the Mendonza road,

end drove the enemy before them, with the loss of twenty-
eight guns. The French retired in good order on Vit-
toria.

Graham, whose column on the previous evening had
been sent to Margiana, advanced by the road from Bilboa
to Vittoria: he attacked the front and flank of the right,
and succeeded io driving the French from their position
above Abechuco. Every exertion was then made by the
enemy to regain Gamorra-Major ; and although they
failed, they prevented General Oswald's division from
prohting by the advantage first gained. The entrance of
the centre division into Vittoria obliged the enemy to re-
tire, that tfaey might avoid being taken in rear. The di-
vision then crossed the river and posted themselves on the
high road to Bayonne, driving back the French on the
road leading to Panipeluna, the only one left open to them.
Confusion and dismay spread among the enemy's ranks,
who were pressed on all aides; and had it not been for the
local impediments which opposed the progress of the ar-
tdlery and cavalry, the French army would have been
annihilated. One hundred and fifty-one guns were taken,
besides vast quantities of ammunition, caissons, and
baggage, together with Marshal Jourdau's baton. The
loss of the enemy is pretended by their own historians not
to have exceeded six thousand men : that of the Allies
was under five thousand.

After this battle the left, under Graham, advanced on
Bilboa, in hopes of intercepting General Foy, who on re-
ceiving the account of Joseph's defeat retired on Bayonne.
At Tolosa he made a stand; but Graham attacked and
drove him beyond the frontier. The left wing kept ad-
vancing towards Bayonne, forcing the enemy from every
position where they attempted any resiijtance.

I8t3. At this period colour-serieants were first introduced, in

June 25th. , . « ,

the proportion of one to each company.^

Wellington decided on besieging St. Sebastian ; a de-
sirable point for establishing the communication with
July 1st. England. Sir Thomas Graham invested that place with
the first and fifth divisions. To save time batteries were
erected on the sand-hills. The convent of St. Bartholo-
mew was carried on the seventeenth. Two breaches were
deemed practicable on the twenty-fifth. A mine sprung
under the glacis of the front line was the signal for a party
of two thousand men, who were in readiness at day-break,
to rush forward. This unexpected explosion created so
much alarm, that it enabled the assailants to reach the
breach with little loss ; but in their attempt to ascend they
were checked by a front and fiank fire, which destroyed
five hundred; when the remainder fell back on their
trenches. The same day the garrison made a sortie, and
succeeded in taking many Portuguese prisoners.

Soult returned from Germany to conmiand the French
force in the south. His first object was to relieve Pam-
peluna, which had been invested by a corps of Spaniards :
after various conflicts, lie advanced in two colunms,
amounting to thirty-five thousand men, against the passes
of Roncesvalles and Maya, near the mountain Cubiry. He
was, however, repulsed in his attacks, and retreated with
his army early on the thirty-first, in three columns, by
St. Jean Pied de Port, Echular, Sarr6, and Maya. The
AUied army followed and came up with the enemy's
rear-guard, strongly posted in the pass of Donna Maria,
from whence they were driven by the brigade under Gene-
ral Barnes.

The loss of the French since Soult had resumed the

THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS. 189

command was upwards of eight thousand men, and greatly i8i3.
exceeded that of the Allies.

Lord Wellington in the beginning of August returned to Aognst.
the position occupied by his army previous to the advance
of Soult.

Supplies of stores and a battering train arrived from
England, and were landed on the eighteenth of August.

Towards the end of the month the Allies had placed Aug. fsth.
nearly eighty guns in battery before St. Sebastian,
whose fire on the town continued without intermission
during the day from their first opening. On the night of
the twenty-ninth the garrison attempted another sortie*
and were repulsed.

The storming party, which fcxmed early on the thirty- Aog. suu
first, consisted of seven hundred and fifty volunteers, two
hundred of whom were suppUed by the Guards. The
detachment fipom the Coldstream consisted of one lieu-
tenant, one ensign, two Serjeants, one drummer, and fifty
men, under Captain Barrow and Ensign Chaplin.

The column, after many desperate attempts, found itself,
on reaching the summit, assailed by a heavy fire from the
place, that destroyed all in the advance. In the words of
General Graham, ** no man outlived the attempt to gain
the ridge."

^^ Notwithstanding the great extent of the breach,
'^ there was but one point where it was possible to enter,
^' and there by files. All the inside of the wall to the
'^ right of the curtain formed a perpendicular scarp of at
'' least twenty feet to the level of the streets, so that the
'^ narrow ridge of the curtain itself, formed by the breach-
'^ ing of its end and front, was the only accessible point.
** During the suspension of the operations of the siege,
" the enemy had prepared every means of defence which
*' art could devise."

determined assault, that the besieged were driven fixHn
their defences. The Allies then succeeded in forcing the
barricades, and pushed forward into the town, with a I088
of about two thousand three hundred killed and wounded.
The enemy retired to the castle, leaving about seven hun-
dred prisoners.

The casualties in the Coldstream were, five rank and file
killed. Ensign Thomas Chaplin and twenty-seven rank and
file wounded, and one missing.
September. ()n the ninth, fifty heavy guns and mortars opened on
the castle of St. Sebastian ; which, after a bombardment
of two hours, surrendered. The garrison amounted to
upwards of two thousand, including about five hundred
sick.

October. Ou the seventh of October, the first and fifth divisions,
witli General Wilson's Portuguese brigade, forded the
Bidassoa at low water, for the purpose of driving the
enemy from the mountain of La Rhune. A corps of
Spanianls crossed the river higher up, with the intention
of attacking the works on the Montague Vert. General
Alten with the light division, and the Spaniards under
Longa, were to attack the pass of Bera. General Giron
with the army of Andalusia was to march against the in-
trenchments of La Rhune. The fifth division crossed the
river, followed by the first, and advanced against the
French, who had scarcely formed in line before they were
driven from their works, with the loss of several guns.

At Bera the attack of tlie light division was particulariy
successful. General Giron carried the lower slopes of La
Rhune; the enemy, however, crowned the heights, when

i>ct, 7. |i^^» ^^iQg^^ ^^f Jay put an end to further efforts.

Next day the Spanianls carried an intrenched hne be-
yond the mountain with little opp<isition. These advan-

THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS. 191

tages were gained with a loss of about sixteen hundred i8i5.
men. In the Coldstream the casualties were, two rank and ^^'
file killed, and ten wounded.

On the eighteenth the Coldstream moved to the camp
near St. Jean de Luz.

On the thirty-first, after a blockade of four months, the
garrison of Pampeluna surrendered prisoners of war.

The enemy from the beginning of August had been in
possession of a formidable line of works on the Nivelle;
their right rested on the sea, covered the town of St. Jean
de Luz, and extended twelve miles in a direct line ; their
centre occupied the village of Sarre and the adjacent rising
ground ; their left, covered by the river Ainhoe, rested on
a height, which was defended by several works that added
to the strength of their position. A mountain protected
the approach to the village, the extremity of which was
also fortified. In the progress of these works no labour or
expense had been spared. k

The incessant rain and snow in the mountains greatly
retarded Lord Wellington.

On crossing the Bidassoa, Graham, who had been ap-
pointed to head the force in Holland, was succeeded in
command of the left wing of the army by Sir John Hope.
It consisted of the first division under Major-General November.
Howard, with the fifth division, the independent, and two
Portuguese brigades. The centre was formed in two
columns, the right of which comprised the third, fourth,
and seventh divisions under Marshal Beresford ; and the
left, the Ught division, with the Spanish army of reserve,
supported by a brigade of cavalry. The sixth and Por-
tuguese division under Sir John Hamilton, and the Spanish
division commanded by Morillo, formed the right wing.

In Germany the French lost their character for invinci-
bility, and were deserted by their auxiliaries ; the results

iHUi, Qf ^hich were apparent in t)ie subsequent victorieB of
the Confederates and the ultimate downfall of Napolem's
power. He could no longer send reinforcements to recover
the ground lost in Spain ; and Wellington resolyed to pass
into France.

Previous to entering that country, the British Com-
mander issued the following humane and generous procla-
mation :

'^ Officers and soldiers must recollect, that their natioiis
** BLTfi at war with France, solely because the ruler of the
'' French nation will not allow them to be at peace, and is
*' desirous of forcing them to submit to his yoke; and
** they must not forget, that the worst of the evils suffered
*' by the enemy, in his profligate invasion of Spain and
'' Portugal, have been occasioned by the irregularities
*' of his soldiers, and their cruelties, authorised and en-
'' couraged by their chiefs, toward the unfortunate and
'* {)ouccful inhabitants of the country. To avenge this
" conduct on the peaceable inhabitants of France, would
** he unmaulv and unworthy of the nations to which the
'• Commander of the Forces now addresses himself."

(^nlm and confident, Wellington, from the heights of the
PyrtnnH>s, liH>kod down on the well-guarded territories of
the irroat onomy of his country, and, with steady purpose,
pre|>arxHl to tame the pride of a mighty Prince who, while
he carried war and misery into almost every capita) of
F.um|>o. made it his haughty baist that the women of
the grt\it nation had never seen the smoke of an enemy's
oamp. The Horculean task of the British General was
aooomplishtHl ; ho had ohasoil the far-famed legions of
NajH^UnMi tVxMii the ppati'^s of LisKm to the utmost limits of
the S|>;mish Iv^undary, and had n^tonxl the affrighted in-
habttants of* ihc IVninsula to their native towns and vil-
lasiv's in jvaor and i^'^lety. His \va:> no selfish triumph.

destined cmly to coovey to fatare ages the name of a sue- isis.
ceasfbl conqueror. Wellington stood before the world at
once a hero and a benefactor ; and the shouts of his exult-
ing soldiers were mingled with the blessings of rescued
millions, whom his genius and courage had delivered from
the grasp of the oppressor. It was his high and pecuUar
glory that the brilliant achievements in Spain and Por-
tugaly which secured him an imperishable reputation as a
commander, gave repose to unoffending nations, and had
no object but to foil a military chief whose restless un-
scrupulous ambition rendered murder, conflagration, and
pillage fiuniliar to the si^t of every neighbouring king-
dom that dared to resist his usurpations. After long and
carefully perusing the living map that lay spread out be-
neath his feet, Wellington ordered his army to advance ;
and on the tenth of November the troops descended from
the Pyrenees through the mountain passes by moon-light,
to transfer to France the calamities of domestic war,
and teach the adnurers of splendid but unprincipled ag-
gression, that there is at length a day of retribution.

The Allies on reaching the line of piquets halted, pre-
paratory to the attack, which was to conunence at day-
light; they were so placed as to be concealed from the
enemy.

At the dawn of day a cannonade was commenced against
some redoubts in front of Sarr6, after which the infantry
rushed to the assault and carried the works and the vil-
lage. The light division forced the lines on Petite la
Rhune. The enemy having abandoned the redoubts,
General Alten formed on the summit of the hill they had
quitted. The army then advanced, covered by skir-
mishers towards the heights behind Sarr6, when the
French successively abandoned their intrenchments, and

the bridges over the Nivelle.

Whilst the light division was proceeding to assanlt a
redoubt, the garrison endeavoured to escape ; Beresford,
however, intercepted them and made about six hundred
prisoners.

Clinton received orders to ford the Nivelle, and at-

■

tack the heights of Ainhoe, supported by General Hamil-
ton's division placed in echelon. He marched directly on
the right to attack the enemy in front, who, being drivea
back, left the redoubts on the heights of Ainhoe unpro-
tected. The French detachments by which they were
occupied hastily retreated, and caused a body of their
troops on the left to recede. The British divisions then
advanced, when the French quitted the line in front of
Ainhoe and retired towards Cambo.

Tlie enemy, driven from the centre of their line, con-
centrated on the heights above St. Pe; whence they were
dislodged whilst forming, by a flank movement of the
third and seventh divisions on the left, in conjunction with
the sixth division which marched in the opposite direction.
The centre of the Allies was established in rear of the
enemy's right. The close of day put an end to the ope-
rations, and Soult, under cover of the night, withdrew, and
retired to Bavonne.

Durins: these movements the encmv lost fifty suns, two
thousand men, fifteen hundred prisoners, and great quan-
tities of stores and ammunition.

The loss of the Allies was under six hundred killed, and
two thousand wounded.

Ensign Anstrutlier and thirteen rank and file of the
light company of the Coldstream were wounded.

The Allies went into cantonment? between the ridcre of
Nivelle and the sea.

front of bayonne.

The distance between the contending armies did not
exceed two miles at the nearest point, which induced Wel-
lington to construct a defensive line for the protection of
his frcmt against any sudden attack.

The Coldstream advanced on the ninth beyond Bidart, December,
within three miles of Bayonne, encountered the enemy,
and returned at night to their quarters at St. Jean de
Luz.^

The allied army advanced on the ninth of December,
and the left wing, under Hope, closely reconnoitred the
enemy's intrenchments at Bayonne. with little opposition.
Hill passed the Nive by the fords at Cambo. Clinton's
division crossed by the bridge of boats at Ustariz.

The French made a stand at Ville Franque ; but were
dislodged by the light infantry of Clinton's division. In
the night the enemy withdrew all their posts into the town
of Bayonne.

Next day Hill's corps took post with their right on the Dec. lotli.
Adour, the left reaching to Ville Franque, and tlieir centre
across the road from Bayonne to St. Jean Pied de Port;
some cavalry were also sent to Urcuray to watch a division
of the enemy posted near St. Palais. Sir John Hope re-
turned to his former cantonment, and Beresford retired to
the left bank of the Nive, keeping up his communication
with General Hill by a bridge of boats.

Soult left Bayonne early on the morning of the tenth,
and advanced with the determination of attacking the left
under Hope.

The road to St. Jean de Luz was defended by the fifth
division and two Portuguese brigades. The light division

was placed about two miles to the right, and eeparated
from the lefl corps hy a range of hills, too steep to enable
a body of troopa to occupy them.

The French attacked and drove the light division within
the village of Arcanques, where they were strougly in-
trenched, Bud aderwards established themselves on the
hills. This being effected, the enemy attacked the lefl,
consisting of the fiflh division, which received them with
great gallantry : Geaeral Robinson was wounded ; and
the French having advanced in front of Barouiltet throogh
some wood, compelled Major-General Campbell's Portu-
guese brigade, and General Robinson's brigade which
supported it, to retire, and thereby they forced the position.
A Portuguese battalion moved forward on the road, and
went into the rear of the wood: the Ninth regiment on
the extreme right wheeled round and charged with the
Portuguese, by which the enemy were driven back and
suffered severely. The French, however, again renewed
the attempt to dislodge the fifth division, when the re-
mainder of the left wing, consistin£r of the brigade of
Guards, brought up from their cantonments under Major-
General Howard, opportunely arrived : the enemy's at-
tacking columns were then repulsed ; and night closed q
the combatants.

Soult, having failed in his efforts to destroy the left of tb6
Allies, retired witli part of his force during the night from
the position in front of Sir John Hope.
I. This General next day tsent some of his troops to the
support of the light division ; and being thus weakened,
he was again attacked by the enemy, whom he repulsed.

On the same day the Coldstream moved to the out-
posts, whence they afterwards returned to their quarters at
St. JeandeLuz; but were occasionally sent to the out-po&t p
near Bidart.

the afternoon of the twelfth there was some sharp skir-
mishing,^ but no alteration took place in the position of
either army. Little else of interest occurred pending these
operations, with the exception of some unsnccessftd attacks
made by Soult on the corps of Sir Rowland Hill, which
commenced on the ninth and ended on the thirteenth of
December. Although Soult from his position was enabled
to direct his whole force against any given point of the
extended line of the Allies with a great superiority in num-
bers, yet he made no impression by these attacks. The
loss of life on both sides was, however, considerable.

CHAPTER XII.

Hill moves to Hellete — French retire — Spaniards blockade St. Jean
Pied de Port — Left wing inrests Bayonne — Battle of Orthex —
Sonlt retires — Beresford's corps marches for Bourdeaax — Great
part of his force recalled — Battle of Tonlonse — Sortie from
Bayonne — Coldstream suffer severely — Coldstream in barracks
at Bourdeaax — Hostilities close on land between England and
France — Coldstream quit Bourdeaux for Pauliac — Conveyed by
craft to the Stirling Castle — Arrive at Spithead — March to
London — Six companies of the Coldstream embark for Holland
— Inspected at Steenbergen — Failure of attack on Bergen -op-
Zoom — Six companies go into quarters at Brussels — Six compa-
nies reinforced by four companies from England.

The severity of the season obliged the Allies to keep ^*i*-
in their cantonments, and consequently nothing of mo-
ment occurred until about the middle of February, when Febraary.
Wellington endeavoured to draw Soult from his position
near Bayonne.

On the fourteenth of February Hill's corps broke up
from Urcuray and moved to Hellete» from -whence they
obliged the enemy's troops to retire on St. Palais. Gene-
ral Harispe left a garrison at St. Jean Pied de Port,
which was blockaded by the Spanish corps under Mina,
and, being joined by other troops, made a stand on the
height of La Montague, whence he was driven, and crossed
the Bidassoa. The left wing of the Allies, intended for
the investment of Bayonne, moved forward at one

ORIGIN ANU SERVICES OF

1814. o'clock A.M. on the morning of the twenty- third, driving
the enemy's out-posts before them: the heavy guns were
then brought up and placed in battery. The river,
Adour was to be crossed by means of pontoon rafts, whi)
could only be worked during alack tide. In the evenii
when two light companiea of Uie Coldstream and Third
Guards, with four battalion companies of the latter regi-
ment, had passed, two columns of the enemy deployed,
fired a volley, and rushed on them with the bayonet. The
Guards, however, being most judiciously posted by Major-
Geueral Stopford on a ridge of sand, with their right
resting on the river, their left towards the sea,
allied artillery on the other side flanking the groum
their front, and assisted by a discharge of Congre'
rockets, threw the enemy into confusion and forced th<
to retire. In the night pontoons, used as row-b(
were substituted for the rafts ; and, as only fifteen men
passed over each turn, it was not until the evening of the
next day that the first division and some cavalry were on
the right bank. By the twenty-sixth a bridge was con-
structed below the town, which during the remainder
of the war served as the regular communication between.
Feb.«7ib. St, Jean de Luz and Spain. The following evening, af
a sharp skirmish, Bayonne was blockaded. Sir
Hope with the left wing was mtrusted with the siege,
direct road to Bourdeaux was now open by the bni
thrown across the Adour.

WeUington on the twenty- seventh of February at-
tacked Soult, whose army, strongly posted near Orthez,
had successfully resisted the repeated efforts of the Ailies
to gain the heights. But the British commander di
termined to change his plan ; the result was the brillii
rapid, and total defeat of the French, who sustaii

lery. The casualties on the part of the Allies did not isi4.
ejtceed two thousand five hundred.

Soult retired towards Tarbes by the road to Toulouse :
in consequence of the heavy rains and the destruction of
the bridges the French were not closely pursued in their
retreat.

Wellington had been informed that, although favourable
to the Bourbon cause, the inhabitants of Bourdeaux were
prevented, from giving vent to their feehngs by a. small
garrison which kept them in awe. Soult probably sup-
posed that Wellington would not advance on this town
while the garrison of Bayonne held out. Marshal
Beresfordy having with him the Due d'Angoul^me, was
howevjer ordered to march with his corps to expel the
French troops from Bourdeaux ; but they immediately re-
tired on his approach, and the EngUsh General was
met by the entire population, who instantly destroyed all
the emblems of Napoleon. Wellington, considering that
so large a force was unnecessary for the defence of Bour-
deaux, recalled Beresford, leaving Lord Dalhousie there
with about five thousand men.

On the tenth of April the battle of Toulouse was gained, April,
though not without great loss. The British and Por-
tuguese had five thousand killed and wounded, and the
Spaniards nearly three thousand ; but, in estimating this
fatal result, it must be remembered that the attack con-
tinued during the entire day, and was directed against in-
trenchments of a most formidable description. The loss of
the French was three thousand six hundred.

Wellington closely pressed the siege of Toulouse, and
on the night of the twelfth Soult retired, leaving three
Generals and one thousand six hundred prisoners.

Early on the morning of the fourteenth, and after the April i4th.
intelligence of the event which had occurred at Paris on

1814. the seventh < was known, a desperate sortie was made
' from the French camp in front of the citadel of Bayonne,
directed principally against the position occupied by the
^ second brigade of Guards at St. Etienne, opposite to the
citadel. Major-General Hay was killed at the first onset,
and the enemy gained temporary possession of the village
of St. EUenne. The centre of the British was also driven
in, and General Stopford was wounded. General Hope^
on coming up with some troops in the dark, encountered
the enemy, by whom he was wounded and taken
prisoner, his horse having been shot under him. Re-
inforcements were quickly brought up, the lost ground
recovered, and the assailants driven back with great
slaughter : but this was a lamentable and useless waste of
lives, as Napoleon had already abdicated.

The Allies lost more than eight hundred men in killed,
wounded, and prisoners.

The casualties of the Coldstream in consequence of this
sortie from Bayonne were, one captain, one lieutenant, one
Serjeant, one drummer, and thirty rank and file killed ;
one captain, three lieutenants, two ensigns, eleven Ser-
jeants, and one hundred and eleven rank and file wounded;
two Serjeants and eighty-two rank and file missing.

died of their wounds. Captains James Vigois Harvey and
Henry Dawkins were wounded.

Thus closed hostihties on land between two nations
who had been engaged in an incessant warfiure, with only
one year's interruption^ from 1793.

The Coldstream left their ground near Bayonne on the Umj.
second of May: after being encamped some time they
marched to Bourdeaux, where the men went into bar-
racksy and the officers were billeted on the inhabitants till
the twenty-third of July; the first battalion then quitted
the town for Pauliac, a village on the Garonne, whence
they were conveyed in large craft to the Stirling Castle of
seventy-four guns, at the mouth of the river, on board
of which they embarked, and arrived at Spithead on the
twenty-eighth ; they then marched to Portman-Street
barracks.

THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS. 305

While the first battalion was engaged in driving the isi^
French oat of Spain, six companies of the second battalion
of the Coldstream bad embarked at Greenwich for Holland ,
under Lieutenant-Colonel Adams, on the twenty-fourth
of November, 1813, and landed at Scheveling on the
sixth of December, from which place they marched to the
Hague, and thence to Delft and Helvoet Slays. On the
sixteenth they embarked and sailed to Williamstadt, and
went to Steenbei^en, then moved into cantonments near
Bergen-op*Zoom, and returned to Steenbergen on the
ninth of January, where they were inspected on the twen-
ty-first by his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence.
They passed through Esschen, West Wesel, and continued
their route through Rosendale, Staebroeck, to Santvliet,
for the purpose of attacking the fortress of Bergen-op-
Zoom.

Sir Thomas Graham had collected about four thousand
British bayonets to carry this strong fortress by a coup-
de-main ; for which purpose the troops were formed in
four columns : two were to attack at different points ; the
third was to make a false attack ; while the fourth
attempted the entrance of the harbour, which was fordable
at low water. Major-General Cooke led the left, and met
with some impediments from the ice in crossing the ditch,
but succeeded in gaining the rampart. The right column,
under Major-General Skerret, forced itself into the town ;
but that officer being wounded, and great loss sustained,
much confusion prevailed. The centre column, which was
driven back» formed again, and advanced to eflfect a junc-
tion with the left column on the ramparts. At day-Ught
the besieged turned the guns on the British, who were
without protection on the out- works. General Cooke
at length ordered the Guards to retreat, which was con-
ducted in the steadiest and most soldier-Uke manner.

OlUUiN ANU SERVICES OF

General Bizanet, the governor of the fortress, agreed to i
fiuspension of hostilities.

The loss of the British amounted to about three hundri
killed, and one thousand eight hundred prisonera, amocgi
whom were many wounded.

The casualties in the Coldstream, during the eightV
and ninth of March, were, Captain Shawe, severely
wounded ; one rank and file killed, and about thirty takeo
prisoners.

The following is an extract from the Brigade Order :■
•' Hogerhyde, March 10, 1814.

" Colonel Lord Proby returns fiis best thanks to
" officers, non-coui missioned officers, and privates of
" detachment from the third brigade of Guards who Wf
" engaged in the attack upon Bergen- op- Zoom
*' feels equally satisfied with the gallantry which they
"displayed in the assault; with their steady couduct
" during the many hours they maintained their position
" upon the ramparts ; and with the soldierly and ordei
" manner in which they effected the retreat.

" Lord Proby particularly remarked the excellent coB*"
" duct of the officers who commanded the advanc«di
"party, and that which carried the ladders: Captdn
" Rodney, Ensign Gooch, and Ensign Pardoe."

The six companies of the second battalion of the Cold'
stream were successively quailered at West Wesel, Mech-
lin, Lippelo, and Dendermonde. They afterwards crossed
the Scheld and took possession of Antwerp. On the
third of August they moved to Mechlin, and entered Briu-
sels next day. On the second of September the coloun
and four companies joined from England, completing tl
detachment to ten companies.

Napoleon escapes from Elba — Prince Regent determines to join
the Allies — Reinforcements sent to Belgium — Position of the
Allies — Napoleon beads tbe northern army — His proclamation —
Coldstream roarcb to Qnatre Bras — Battle of Waterloo.

1815. At the Congress of Vienna it was made a question,
whether St. Helena should be selected as the place of Na-
poleon's future residence; the Duke of Wellington op-
posed the measure, and it was ^ven up. Napoleon, who
had been informed that the Allied Monarchs had it in
contemplation to send him to that remote island, escaped
from Elba in a brig, accompanied by three small vessels
containing about eleven hundred men, among whom
were one hundred dismounted Polish cavalry. On the
first of March he landed near Cannes, in the Qulf of
Juan, reached Lyons on the tenth, and ten days after
made his triumphal entry into Paris, Louis the Eighteenth
having fled to Ghent.

A message was delivered to both Houses from the
Prince Regent, declaring his intention to join the Allies.

Austria, Russia, Prussia, and England ^ entered into an
agreement not to lay down their arms till Napoleon was
again deprived of the supreme power in France.

The Coldstream left Brussels on the twenty-fourth of

upwards of one hundred and sixteen millions!

THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS. 209

March for Ath. The Prince of Orange at one timehad i8i5.
determined to attack liUe; but this scheme was over-
roled, and the Guards returned to Enghien.

Reinforcements were ahnost daily sent from England ;
all the troops that could be spared were hurried to the
Low Countries; even those on their return from America
were forwarded without disembarking: the exertions on
the part of government were unremitting.

At this period the Duke of Wellington was at Brus-
sels : the right wing of his army in and about Ath was
commanded by Lord Hill; the left, in the vicinity of
Braine le Comte and Nivelle, was under the Prince of
Orange ; the Earl of Uxbridge, with the cavalry, was sta-
tioned about Grammont; the reserve was in the town and
neighbourhood of Brussels. The forces under the Duke
of Wellington amounted to seventy-eight thousand five
hundred and five men, but the actual number in the field
did not exceed sixty-four thousand, with one hundred and
twenty guns,^ including twelve with the reserve.

Napoleon quitted Paris on the twelfth, and on the four- Jane,
teenth he placed himself at the head of his troops, to
whom he addressed the following proclamation: —

'* ArtBueBf Jane I4th.

'* Soldiers!

" This day is the anniversary of Marengo and Fried-
*' land, which twice decided the destiny of Europe. Then,
'^ as after the battles of Austerlitz and Wagram, we
** were too generous. We believed in the protestations
'* and oaths of princes, to whom we left their thrones.
" Now however, leagued together, they strike at the in-
" dependence and sacred rights of France. They have
'' committed unjust aggressions. Let us march forward and

'^ to one ; at Montmirail six to one. Let those who have been
'^ captives to the English describe the nature of their priaon-
'^ ships, and the sufFerings they endured. The SaiKMiB,
<' the Belgians, the Hanoverians, the soldiers of the Con-
^* federation of the Rhine, lament that they are obliged to
'^ use their arms in the cause of princes, who are the
^' enemies of justice, and destroyers of the rights of
** nations. They well know the coaUtion to be insatiabie^
'^ After having swallowed up twelfe millions of Poles,

'^ To oppress and humble the people of France is out of

*^ and happiness of our country are at stake ! and, in short,
'' Frenchmen, the moment is arrived when we most oon-
" quer or die!"

The French army of Flanders was composed d nearly
twenty thousand men of the Imperial Guard, and fire
corps d*armee, besides a force of about twelve thousand
cavalry under Grouchy, and the Young Guard, which
made, at a moderate calculation, a total of one hundred
and fifty thousand men, with two hundred and ninetv-six
pieces of artillery.
Jaae i5ili. During the night of the fifteenth, Wellinirtan obtained
information that the enemy had crosssed the Sambre, and
were marching in f jif e on Charleroi and Flenrus ; the
troops in their ditterent cantonments received orders

Jane 16th.

THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS. 211

to move on Nivelle^ where the Prince of Orange was ,^^^^;
stationed.

The Coldstream left Enghien at three o'clock in the
morning of the sixteenth, and, after resting about four
hours at Braine le Comte, pushed on to Quatre Bras,
where only a small portion of the army was assembled.
The division of Guards thus made a march of twenty-five
miles. When tfie second brigade halted, the light com-
panies were sent round on the left of the Bois de Bossu, in
rear of the Brunswickers.

The Coldstream did not reach the position until about
four o'clock in the afternoon ; and notwithstanding their
fatigue, inunediately deployed in support of the First
Guards. That brigade was at the time engaged with the
enemy, and greatly distinguished itself, though not without
suffering severely. After clearing the wood, they retired,
and the Ught companies of the second brigade under Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Macdonell took the advance ; on his right
were detachments from the battaUon companies of the
Third Guards under Lieutenant-Colonel Home, which
communicated with tfie Brunswickers. Lieutenant-Colonel
Daniel MacKinnon, with four companies, went in support.
The troops maintained their ground with firm intrepidity,
and repulsed at all points the repeated efforts of a laige
body of cavalry under Kellerman, who made frequent and
desperate charges, seconded by two corps d'arm^e and a
considerable preponderance in artillery. At the close of day
the firing ceased. Marshal Ney then rallied on the height
of Frasnes. The loss of the AlUes amounted to about four
thousand men ; that of the French to rather more.

The British cavalry and the remainder of the army came
up during the night.

While !Ney was endeavouring to force the position at
Quatre Bras, in which he was unsuccessful. Napoleon at-
tacked and defeated the Prussians at St. Amand and

Ligny. During tlie night. Marshal Blucher, who found'
himself, after the loss of fifteen thousand men, too weak
to retain his position at Sonibreff, retired to concentrate
on Wavre. It was not till the morning of the seventeentll
, that the disaster of the Prussians was known at Quatrd
Bras.

Wellington in consequence made a corresponding move^
ment: at ten o'clock his army fallback in perfect ordM
through Genappe on Waterloo. The two light companieal
of the second brigade of Guards, being ordered to maa
the retreat on the right, did not leave the ground till pat
two o'clock,

A body of the enemy's Lancers, supported by masses a
cavalry, attempted to harass the rear: they were braveljr-l
attacked on their advance from Genappe by the Seventh
Hussars, who failed, after a gallant effort. Colonel Elley
had however taken the precaution to order the First Life
Guards to be prepared : that celebrated body of men then
charged with the most determined impetuosity, and over-
threw the French cavalry. About five p- m. the allied
army had taken up its position, which crossed the roads
from Nivelle and Charleroi. In front of the Nivelle road
was the chateau and garden of Hugomont; fronting t!
left centre was the farm of La Haye Sainte.

The enemy, with the exception of Marshal Grouchy*8 ^
corps, detached for the purpose of observing the Prussians,
were on the opposite heights; the space between was
open, and the two armies were not more than three
quarters of a mile from each other; in some places nearer.
Before the position was a gentle descent. The second
brigade of Guards was situated on the right of the centre,
and crowned the !loi>e above Hugomont, The chateau of
Hugomont faced the enemy without any external fence in
its front. Behind it was the farm-yard, protected on the
left and rear by a wall, and on the right by farm buildings.

THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS. 213

To the left of the house and yard was a garden surrounded 1815.
by a wall, and to the left of that» but adjoining^ there was
an orchard inclosed by a hedge and ditch. A large gate
in the rear led into the yard, and through that supplies
were received during the action; two other entrances to <

the yard were closed up. Outside of the buildings on the
right there was a road and a high hedge. A wood in
front, which stretched some distance to the right, covered
this post.^

Although the number of disposable troops under Wel-
lington at the opening of the campaign has been stated at
sixty-four thousand, yet, after deducting the corps of obser-
vation, which consisted of five thousand men, under Prince
Frederick of Orange at Halle» and the four thousand lost
at Quatre Bras, the Duke*s force at Waterloo cannot be
rated at more than fifty-five thousand.

The army under Napoleon has always been estimated at
one hundred and fifty thousand men. Supposing he lost
twelve thousand at Ligny, Quatre Bras, and on the seven-
teenth; allowing also for the corps with Grouchy, which
might amount to forty-five thousand, there remains a nu-
merical superiority of at least thirty-eight thousand.

The battle of Waterloo has been so often described, that
it is proposed to confine the narrative as much as possible
to those particulars which strictly relate to the part taken
in the conflict by the second brigade of Guards and the
light companies of the first brigade.

Soon after the Guards reached the position, the light
companies^ were sent to the post of Hugomont. The

' The first brigade of Goards was composed of the second
and third battalions of the First Goards, under Major-General Mait-
land ; the second brigade, of the second battalion of the Cold-
stream, and the second battalion of the Third Guards, under Major-
General Byn^.

214 OUIGIM AND SERVICES OF

light compimies of the second brigade took possession'
of the orchard for a short time, after which they were
placed in the wood; the two hght companies of th«
firBt brigade under Lieutenant-Colonel Lord Saltoun then
occupied the orchard. The enemy had also despatched
a party to the chateau, who, on perceiving the advance
of the detachment, made a rush to get first into the place:
the two parties came in contact: after an exchange of
shots Saltoun secured the post. He was reinforced by
three companies of Hanoverian Yagers ; these men joined''
the advance piquet under Captain Evelyn and Ensign
Standen of the Third Guards.

The light companies of the second brigade, composed of
the light infantry of the Coldstream under Lieutenant-Co-
lonel Henry Wyndham, and that of the Third under Lieute-
nant-Colonel Charles Dashwood, covered the right of the
chateau. Those of the first brigade communicated from
the orchard with the wood. These companies therefore
during the night acted as piquets to the force under Liea-
tenant- Colon el Macdonell in the chateau, who had been
detached with the light companies of the second brigade,
and on whom, as senior officer, the command devolved.
He reached Hugoraont about seven in the evening, and
was unceasingly employed in preparing for its defence.

AJler the brigade bad taken up their ground, heavy
rain fell, accompanied by wiud, lightning, and load
thunder: the position was chiefly covered with standing
com, but the Coldstream occupied a bean-field bearing a
yonng crop a few inches high, which soon became knee
deep in mire, and every vestige of vegetation disappeared.
A recollection of the recent unexpected attack on the
Prussians, the proximity of the enemy, the fury of the
storm, and the darkness of the night, kept the battalion on
the alert till dawn appeared.

On the morning of the eighteenth, as additionsl

of strengthening the place, loop-holes were made in the ibi5.
building and garden-walls of Hngomont. Platforms were
also erected, and the gates barricaded, with the exception
of one in the rear, which was left open intentionally : these
precautions assisted materially in making good the most
memorable defence perhi^ps recorded in the annals of
modem war&re.^

Previous to the battle, the Duke of Wellington, at-
tended by his staff, rode through the wood of Hugomont,
where he saw lieutenant-Colonel Macdonell, told him he
would be immediately attacked, and gave orders to
*^ defend the post to the last extremity."

At ten o'clock the light companies of the Guards were
relieved by a battaUon of eight hundred Nassau light
troops: part of this corps was stationed in the lofts,
buildings, yards, and out-offices ; the remainder, with the
Hanoverian Yagers, were distributed in the orchard and
wood. Lord Saltoun then joined the second brigade on the
position. lieutenant-Colonel Macdonell with his companies
moved to the right of the chateau.

At twenty minutes past eleven o*clock, the first gun
was fired fix>m a battery in front of the second brigade of
Guards ; it made a gap for a moment in the head of the
column commanded by Prince Jerome Buonaparte, as it

* A truly characteristic trait of the Dake of Welliog^n occurred
on the morning of the hattle of Waterloo.

General Alava went from Brussels to join his Grace, and found
him in a tree ohserring the morements of the French army.
On the Duke taming round and seeing General Alava, he called
out, *' How are you, Alava? Buonaparte shall see to-day how
a General of Sepoys can defend a position ! " — a remark which
showed at once his contempt for an opinion given of him by
Buonaparte, and a confidence in himself and in his troops, ac-
companied with a degree of cheerfulness almost amounting to
an assurance of victory.

moved to the attack on Hugomcnt.' The advance of tbs
enemy was covered by a " tremendous cannonade " on the
whole Ihie frgm upwards of two hundred guns. i

Shortly after the action had commenced, the tiralleur*
drove the Nassau battalion and the company of IIaao>
verian Yagers through the wood to the rear of the chateau^
This attack was repulsed by the two companies of tha
second brigade. The French were fast closing round,
when Macdonell charged and drove them back on their
advancing columns. These attempts were vigorously
repeated for an hour and a half, but each time they failed.

About one o'clock a cart of ammunition, which had
been sent for early in the day, was brought into the farm-
yard of Hugomont, and proved most seasonable. Th«
men had only time to fill their pouches, when a dischai^
of artillery suddenly burst upon them, mingled with tha
sliouts of a column rushing on to a fresh attack. A cloud
of tiralleurs pushed through the wood and com-Belds t
they were aimed at with latal certainty from the loojv
holes, windows, and summit of the building. But the
enemy eventually compelled the few men that remained
outside to withdraw into the chateau by the rear gate. la
the mean time, the French redoubled their efforts against
it, and the tire of the immediate defenders of that poiot
for a moment ceased. The gate was then forced. At

thia critical motnent, Macdonell rushed to the spot with
the oflScers and men nearest at hand, and not only expelled
the assailants, but recloeed the gate. The enemy from
their overwhelming numbers again entered the yard, when
the Guards retired to the house, and kept up from the
windows such a destructive fire, that the French were
driven out, and the gate once more was closed.

General Foy having chased the Nassau troops before
him, passed through the wood and surrounded the cha-
teau : all attempts to rally these men proving fruitless.
Lieu tenant- Colonel MacKinnon with the Grenadiers and
first company moved to the support of the place, and the
enemy were forced back. Lieutenant- Colonel Acheson
then joined: the whole followed in pursuit and entered
the wood, where they were received with an incessant dis-
charge of small arms. Colonel Woodford left the seventh
and eighth companies in the position for the protection
of the colours, and brought down the rest of the battalion.
The third and fourth companies of the Third Guards
were also sent to Hugomont under Lieutenant-Colonel
Home, and occupied the hollow way near the entrance of
the wood ; these were succeeded by other detachments of
equal strength from the same regiment.

On the retreat of the Nassau troops, Lord Saltoun with
the light companies of the first brigade was again ordered
to Hugomont, and recovered the orchard, and also part of
the wood in its front; the latter, however, there was no
possibility of holding in opposition to the vast superiority
of the enemy. Lord Saltoun therefore made occasional
sallies from the orchard: his orders were, in the event
of its being forced, to retire into the chateau; but he
defended it against every attempt.

The entrance of the wood was attacked in the most
gallant manner by the Coldstream. The companies under

1815. Colonel Woodford cheered, and after chaining, opened a
fire» but the powerful resistance they met with could not
be overcome. This officer therefore retired, and entered
Hugomont.

Afterwards the enemy exerted themselves to carry the
orchard. They twice got possession of the hedge, but
gained no further ground, as the defenders were firm,
and the troops on the garden wall which overlooked
the orchard poured in a cross fire and occasioned them
severe loss.

A detachment from the Third Guards, and the grenadiers
of that corps, with fifty Hanoverian riflemen under Lord
Saltoun, bravely charged a howitzer, but did not succeed.
This, however, had the effect of stopping any thing further
on that side, and the enemy contented themselves with
firing fi'om behind a ditch which ran nearly parallel to the
hedge and ditch in front of the orchard.

At two o'clock, Lord Saltoun was relieved by Lieu->
tenant*Colonel Mercer of the Third Guards, who arrived
with reinforcements. The Third Guards had been moved
for the purpose of support by detachments of two compa-
nies at intervals, and after Colonel Woodford entered
Hugomont with the Coldstream, they occupied the orchard,
under Colonel Hepburn.

The enemy were undaunted in their attacks ; but Hugo-
mont was defended with a calm and stubborn gallantry,
that alone could have enabled so small a force to resist the
repeated and fierce assaults of nearly thirty thousand
men, (rf whom the second French corps was composed.
The cross discharge from the artillery was incessant : the
bursting of shells set part of the building in flames, and
as the fire extended to the chapel and stables, many of
the wounded soldiers of the Coldstream perished. The
Guards, nevertheless, at no time exceeding two thousand

The marksman's fatal post was made ;
Though on thy shatter'd beeches fell
The blended rage of shot and shell ;
Though from thy blacken'd portals torn.
Their fall thy blighted fruit-trees mourn.
Has not such havock brought a name
Immortal in the rolls of fame ?
Yes, — Agincourt may be forgot.
And Cressy be an unknown spot.

And Blenheim's name be new ;
But still in story and in song.
For many an age remember 'd long.
Shall live the towers of Hugomont

And field of Waterloo." »

2SB ORIGIN AND SERHCES OF

Waterloo exemplifies in a high degree that obstinate
and determined courage under fire which the troops of
Great Britain had attained in the school of Wellington.
In giving some account orthis battle as far as the Guards
were concerned, the writer has had the gratification of
concluding his work by exhibiting the part taken by them
in that memorable conflict.

The state of Enrope at that time ia well known. The
policy of Wellington was to act on the defensive, not to
seek an action, nor yet to i-etreat before Napoleon. A
million of bayonets were advancing from all parts of the
Continent to put down hia newly-resumed power; but they
were not yet all assembled. The scheme of the Emperor
was to attack and defeat in detail the several armies by
which he was to be opposed. The French were suffi-
ciently powerf"ul to justify such an expectation. The
Prussians, overthrown on the sixteenth of June, had re-
tired in disorder. Tlie next and most important object of
Napoleon was the destruction of the| English; this com-
pleted, the other armies might be panic-struck, and the
confederacy against France dissolved. The Belgians
detested the Dutch connexion, and the Russians being
paralysed, the Emperor of Austria, finding the scale of
chances balanced, was not unlikely to declare for his son-
in-law. Had these events taken place, France no longer
checked, and the star of Napoleon regaining the ascen-
dant, the liberties of Europe would once more have been
trampled under the feet of his victorious legions. Such
were the natural anticipations of the French, should they
triumph. The struggle, therefore, with the Enghsh was
not one of common occurrence; the contest was for su-
premacy, for glory, for every thing held most dear by the
gallant and chivalrous troops of France.

The enemy chose liis ground, his time, and mode of

THE COLDSIHEAM GUARDS. 223

attack; his troops were fiur more numeroas, and were i8i5.
animated by their recent victory over the veteran Blocher,

To insure success, the energies and experience of the
great and comprehensive mind of Napoleon were concen-
trated. The recollections of the rivalship of the two na-
tioDSy of their military predcuninance in Europe, of sol*
diers raised to the rank of Generals and afterwards to
thrones, were revived in the French army, by all those arts*
the practice of which, a long and intimate acquaintance
with the French character had taught Napoleon. He
called on his veterans to conquer, and told them the day
was arrived for retrieving the disasters of the Russian
campaign, of Dresden, Leipsic, Montmartre, and Paris.
The Emperor called not in vain; promotion, pillage, and
revenge flashed before the ardent and inflamed imagi-
nations of the French soldiery. The triumphs of Marengo
and AusterUtz animated them with hope; their former
conquests, their valour, their numbers, and the well-
known talents of their chief, made them feel secure of
victory. Every soldier in the Imperial army was sen*
sible of the importance of the day : Ns^leon took ad-
vantage of their enthusiasm, and with infinite skill made
his preparations.

The advance of the French at Waterloo was covered by
an immense artillery ; their native courage was heightened
by every sentiment that can stimulate the human breast.

Wellington, aware of the enemy with whom he had to
contend, was also well acquainted with the quality of his
own troops, and relied on their cool and steady bravery.
He baffled throughout the day the repeated attacks of
the French cavalry and infantry. His right was thrown
back on a ravine near Merke Braine ; on the left his com-
munication with Marshal Blucher at Wavre was open
through Ohaine.

224 ORIGIN AND SERVICES OF

The Frencb colamns rushed on, supported by their
splendid cavalry ; the Imperial Guard being in reserve.
Their numbers and the renown of their Emperor gave
a vigour to their movements, not easy to be withstood.

After many severe repulses, N'apoleon thought the
moment had arrived to throw in bis reserve and decide
the day ; a mancBuvre by which he bad so often triumphed
over his opponents. His Imperial Guards were ordered
to advance and charge the British squares. Labedoyere
flew to the front, exclaiming, " Courage, mes enfant !
the English waver, and will give way ! charge those
squares, and the day is oursl" The bullets of the
hitherto invincible Imperial Guard whistled through the
British ranks, and the French cavalry chained with the
determination of men accustomed to vanquish. After
heroic deeds bad been performed by the Imperial Guard,
these fine troops, the first soldiers of the European Con-
tinent, remained on the field, a monument of their des-
perate valour and of the futility of their attempts to
shake the impenetrable battahons opposed to them.' -_

THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS. 226

Then it was that Wellington ordered the line of infantry iMS.
to advance, and instantly the immoveable British squares
that had stood firm as their native rocks, insensible to
ballets, to charges of cavalry, and to death, insensible to
every thing but their duty, moved forward, driving the
enemy before them with all the attendant consequences of
panic, confusion, and irretrievable ruin.

In other battles, positions have been selected with judg-
ment, and defended with courage; but the strong intrench-
ments at Genappe were carried by the French levies under
Dumourier, and the redoubts of Borodino were insufficient
to stop the advance of Napoleon on the ancient capital of
the Czars. At Waterloo there were no works of military
art to cover the British army. They had, and required
no protection but their arms, nor any shelter but their
matchless discipline, to enable them to repel the furious
assaults of an enemy bent on forcing their position. Their
unflinching resistance at first perplexed the scientific cal-
culations of the Emperor, then changed his confidence into
anxiety, and finally drove him to that state of despe-
ration which flies to a last great efibrt as its only hope.
He had promised victory to his soldiers ; he threw his
veterans forward, and failed. Up to this period a large

between dj and oar Tictual, or to fight, being indeed upon Ihii lock,
hoping that the lickneM of yonr army would render their work. mor«

which many timea cannot be done, though the being of the whole amy
lay upon it, all the coaat from Leith to Berwick not haring one good
harbour; as also to lie more conTeniently to receive our recrtiila of
horae and foot from Berwick. I

Having these considerations, apon Saturday the thirtieth of Augnat, *
we marched from Mnsslebnrgb to Haddington, where by that time we
bad got the van brigade of our horse, and our foot and train into iheir
quarters, the enemy was marched with tbat exceeding expeditioD, Ihkt
they fell upon the rear forlorn of our horae, and put it in some disor~
der, and indeed had like to have engaged our rear brigade of borM
with their whole army, bad not the Lord by his providence pat a cloud
over the moon, thereby giving us opportunity to draw off those hone
to the rest of the army, which accordingly was done without any low,
fave of three or four of our aforementioned forlorn, wherein the
enemy (as we believe) received more loss. The army being put into m
reasonable secure posture, towards midnight the enemy attempted our
quarters on Ihe west end of Haddington, hut (through the goodnesa of
God) we repulsed them. The next morning we drew into an cq)en
field, on the sonth side of Haddington, we not judging it safe for us to
draw to the enemy upon bia own ground, be being prepossessed thereof,
but rather drew back, to give him way to come to us, if he had ao
thought fit. And having wailed about the space of four or five hours,
(o see if he would come to us; and not finding any inclinatioD in th«
enemy ao to do. we resolved to go according to our first iuteodmeut to
Dunbar. By that time we bad marched three or four miles, we saw
■ome bodies of the enemy's horse draw out of their quarters, and hy

was upon thejr march after lu; and indeed our drawing back in Ibi*

oiicli heighten their confidence, if not preminption and aiTDgancy.
The enemy that nighl, ne percejred, gathered towards the bills,
tnboaring to make a perfect interposition between us and Berwick;
and having in this postare a great advantage, through his belter know-
ledge of the coanlry, which be eSected by sending a considerable party
to the atrait pass at Copperspcth, where ten men to hinder, are better
than forty to make their way. And truly this was an exigent to us,
wherewith the enemy reproached us with that condition the Par-
liament's axray was in, when il made its hard conditions with the King
in Cornwall ; by some reports that have come to us, they bad disposed
of us. and of their business, in sufficient revenge and wrath lonardt
oar persons and had swallowed up the poor interest of England,
believing that their army and their King would have marched to Lon-
don without any inlermplion ; it being told Qs. we know not how
truly, by a prisoner we took the night before the flight, that Ibeir
King was very suddenly to come amongst them with those English
tliey allowed to be about him ; bnt in what they were thus lifted up,
the Lord was above tbem. The enemy lying in the posture before men-
tioned. having those advantages, we lay very near him, being sensiblo
of our disadvantage, having some weakness of flesb, bat yet consola-
tion and support from the Lord himself to our poor weak faith,
wherein I believe not a few amongst us shared, that because of
their numbers, because of their advantages, because of their con-
fidence, because of our weakness, because of our strait, we were in
the mount, and in the mount the Lord would be seen, and that
he would find out a wiky of deliverance and salvation for us ; and,
indeed, we had our consolations and our hopes. Upon Monday
evening the enemy, whose numbers were very great, as we bear about
DK thousand horse and sixteen thousand fool at least, ours drawn
down, as to sound men, to about seven thousand live hundred foot, and
three thousand live hundred horse; the enemy drew down to their
right wing about Iwo-Ihirdi of their left wing of hone, to the right
wing shoggiug also their foot and train much to the right, causing their
right wing of horse to edge down towards the sea. We could not well

imagine, but that the

that six regiments of hone and three regimeats and a half of foot
should march in the van, aod that the Major-GeneTBl, the Lieateaant-i
General of the horse, and the Com miaaarV' General and Colonal
Monk, to command the brigade of foot, should lead on the basineiil'
and that Colonel Pride's brigade. Colonel Overton's brigade, and tlw'
remaining two regiments of horse, should bring up the cannon
rear; the time of falling on to be by break of day, but through >
delays it ^iroved not to be so till six o'clock, in the moroiDg: the
mies word was " The Covenant,'' which it had been for divers daya j
ours "The Lord of Hosts." The Major- General, Li en tenant- General
FleeliTood, and Commissary 'General Wbaley, and Colonel TwisletOtt
gave the onset, the enemy being in very good posture to receive them,
having the advantage of Iheir cannon and foot against our horse ; be-
fore our fool could come up, the enemy made a gallant resistance, and
there was a very hot dispute at swords point between our horse and
theirs. Our Grat foot, after they bad discharged Iheir duly, being
overpowered with the enemy, received some repulse, which they bood
recovered ; but my own regimi-nt, under the command of Lieutenant-
Colonel Golf, and my Major While, did come seasonably in. and at
the push of pike did repel the stoutest regiment the enemy had there,
merely with the courage the Lord was pleased to give, which proved tl
great amazement to the residne of their foot, this belog the first actioD
between the foot. The horse in the mean time did with a great deal
of courage and spirit beat back all opposition, charging through llie
bodies of the enemies horse and tbeir foot, who were after the first
repulse given, made by the Lord of Hosts as stubble to their swords.
Indeed I believe I may speak it without partiality, both your chief'
commanders, and others in their several places, and soldiers also,
acted with aa much courage as ever hath been seen in any action
this war. I know they look not to be named, and therefore 1 forbear
particulars.

The best of the enemy's horse and foot being broken through and
through in less than an hour's dispute, theii whole army being put
into coufusion, it became a total rout, our men having the chase and
execution of them near eight miles ; we believe that upon the place
and near about it, were about three Ihoasand slain, prisoners taken
of their officers you have this enclosed list, of private soldiers near
ten thousand, the whole baggage, and train taken, wherein was good
store of match, powder and bnllel, all their artillery great and
small, thirty guns. We are confident tbey have left behind them not
less than fifteen thousand arms, I have already brought in to tne
near two hundred colours, which I herewith send you. What officer*
of quality of theirs are killed, we yet cannot learn; but yet surely
divers are, and many men of quality are mortally wounded, as Colonel
Lumadel. the Lord Liherlon, and others; and that which ii tia small

by. since dead of his wounds: and not many mortally wonnded.
Colonel Whaley only, cut in the hand-vrrist. and liis horse twice ahol
and killed nnder him, but he well recovered another hone and went
on in the chase. Thus you have the prospect of one of the most
si^at mercys God hath done for England and his people this war.
And now may it please you to give me the leave of a few words. It is
easy to say. The Lord bath done this ! It would do yon good to see
and hear our poor foot go up and down, making their boast of God ;
hut, Sir, it is in your hands to give glory to him, lo improve your
power and his blessings to his praise. We that serve you, beg of you
not to own ns, but God alone ; we pray you own his people more and
more, for they are Ihe chariots and horsemen of Israel ; disown your-
selves, but own your authority and improve it. to curb the proud and
the insolent, such as would disturb the tranquillity of England, thongh
under what specious pretences soever ; relieve the oppressed, hear
the groans of poor prisoners in England : be pleased to reform the

abuses of all profesi

). and if there be any one that makes many

poor to make a few rich, thai suits not a Common wealth. If he that
strengthens your servants to fight, pleases to give you hearts to set
upon these things in order to his glory, and the glory of yonr Com-
monwealth, besides the benefit England shall feel thereby, you shall
shine forth to other nations, who shall emulate the glory of such a
pattern, and through the power of God turn into the like. These are
our desires, and that you may have liberty and opportunity to do
these things acid not be hindred, we have been and shall be (by God's
assistance) willing to venture our lives, and not desire that yon should
be precipitated by importunities from your care of safety and pre-
servation, but (hat the doing of these good things may have their
place amongst those which concern well-being, and so be wrought in
their time and order. Since we came in Scotland, it hath been onr
desire and longing to have avoided blood in this business, by reason
that God balh a people here fearing his name, thongh deceived, and
lo that end have we offered much love unto such in the bowels of
Christ, and concerning the truth of oar hearts therein have wo ap-
pealed unto the Lord. The ministers of Scotland have hindered the
passage of these things to the hearts of those to whom we intended
them ; and now we hear, that not only Ihe deceived people, but some
of the ministers, are also fallen in Ibis baltle. This is the great band
of the Lord, and worthy of the consideration of all those, who, taking
into their hands the instruments of a foolish shepherd, to wit, meddling
with worldly policies, and mixtures of earthly power, to set up that
which they call Ihe Kingdom of Christ, which is neither it, nor if it

Dunbar. September 4, 1660,

Dr. Harris, in tbe Appendiii to his " Historical and Critical Ac-
count of O. Cromwell," page 338, printed an original letter of Crom-
well's to the Parliameot, (then in the possession of James Lnnib. Esq.
of Fairford iu Gloucestershire, and subsequently of John Raymond
Barker of the same place,) on their sending Symoods (Simon) to
Edinburgh, for his orders about the famous medal struck in memorv
of the victory at Dunbar ;—

For y' Hon"* the Comiltee for the Army, these.

Gentl., It was not a little wonder to me to see that yon sbonld
send Mr. Symonds so great a journey about a business importinge >o
little, as far as it relates to me, wbeu, as if ray poore opinion may not
be rejected by yon, I have to offer to that tv^' I fbinke the most noble
end, to wilt, the commerooracon of that great mercie at Dunbar, and
tbe gratuilie to tbe army, w''' might better be expressed upon the
meddal by engraving as on tbe one side the Parliam', w^ I heare was
intended, and will do singularly well ; so, on the other side, an army
w"' this inscription over the head of it, THE LoRn OF hosts, w*' wu
o' word that day : wherefore, if I may begg it as a favo' from you, I
most earucstly beseech you, if I may do it w">out offence, that it may
be soe ; and if you tbiake not Gtt to have it as I offer, you may alter
it as you see cause, only I doe thinke I may truely say it will be verie
thankfully acknowledged by me, if you will spare the having my
effigies in it.

The gentlemans payncs and trouble hither bare been verie great,
and I shall make it my second suite unto you that you will please to
coaferr upon bim that imploym' in y' service w^ Nicholas Briott ' had

For liis Ex'^" the Lord Fleetwood. To be comunicnfed to the Geiiall
Councell of Officers all Wallingford House.
Right ho''''' and worthy friends ;— Having, through the rich mercies
of our most gracious God, lived to see a revive of that glorious cause
in y' hearts which hath bin sealed with soe much precious bloud,
attested wilh soe many glorious and signall providences uf God, and
purchased with soe vast a treasure of these nations, wee cannot butt
(with the greatest demonstrations of joy and gladnesse) owne yo' late
proceedings in pnrsuance of those blessed ends wee have for soe many
yeares been contending for i and that God hath att last, after soe many
yeares declining and deferred from his and his people's cause and
interest turned backe yo' eyes vppon yo' former vowes and engage-
ments made in the day of yo' espousalls, and begotten iu you a livelie
sense both of yo' past faylingcs and (Pscnt duty, wee cannot butt looke
vppon as the grealest and happiest prognoatick of our future peace
and establishment that ever our eyes yett beheld, and accordingly doe
with humbled hearts both reverence and embrace this dispensation of
Divine Providence as that nberby a passage is made for our enjoying
those good thinges soe longe siuce hoped for. Thai Ood hath hitherto
indulged vs whitest every one was following after bis idotl and ad-
Tancing bis p'ticular interest above that of God and his people, de-
serves to bee for ever had in remembrance, as that whereby wee are
kept alive vnto this day. Certainly, had bee nolt bin a longe sufiering
God, and exceeding slow to wrath, hee had longe ere now given vs
the dregs of bis iudignntion to drinke, and mnde vs a reproach and
hissing to the adversaries of his truth, making vs to reele and stagger,
and dash one against another, till wee bad nccompiiah't that on our
■elves which the blondiest of our adversaries could nolt have beheld
without horror and amazement. Butt now, since we hope the sence
of these thinges lies as heavy on yo' aplritts as on our owne, wee shall
ee yo' remembrancers of what bath bin left vndone, or done
amisse, and putt you in miude of what in this great day of the Lord's

APPENDIX. 237

■ppcM-ing yoii ought to doe ; and in this we shall bee verjr brier,
intendlug to bee more plicular as occasion may offer.

Id the first place, Iherrore, wee earneatlie enlreate you, thai in tlie
worke you have vndertaken, as yon trould lay aside the interest of
any prtvRte pson, »oe that yo' eye may nott bee fastened vppon tlie
interest of any plicular ptie Hhatsoever, as ill is distinct or snbdevided
from the wbole interest of God. and of those that professe his name in
Hineerilie and truth, butt that ynu would earnestly study and en-
deavonr to advance such in whose hearts the power of godlinesse shall
bee made manifest, through holy, strict, and religious conversation,
although they may bee of different mindes in the ntore externall and
leige necessary parts of religion.

2. That seeing his late Hlglmesse hnlh bin pleased to manifest soe
much self-deniall and love to his country, in appearing for the interest
thereof against his owne, in this great day of change, that you will rse
yo' indenvonrs with all afTecconate care aud industry, that himself
and family (together with her Highnesae Dowager) rany have soe ho-
nourable R provision settled vppon Ihem. and such other dignities,
as are suitable to the former great services of that familie to these
nations.

3. That as you are of the freeboroe people of England, and nott
tnercinaries. you will in yo' places, and according to the duty of yo'
callinges, maintaine the just liberties of the nhote people, their good
Utvei and righte, and remove all oppression and every heavy and
intolerable yoake from off their neckes.

4. That you would assert the freedome and priviledges of their
representatives, duly assembled and consisting of iHons rightly quali-
fied as being the basis and ffoundation of the Governem' of this
Comonwealth.

And lastly ; that as the best expedient for the caring onr disteinps,
wee heartily rejoice that you have anticipated our desires in inviting
the Members of the Longe Parliam' to reassemble, and carry on the
worke of the nation nnder a Conionweallh Governem' ; and wee de-
sire that you would owne them, and stand by them as those by whome
God hath formerlie done glorious tbinges for his people's libertie, and
that some effectuall course bee taken fur begetting a good vndcratand-
ing, aud mutuall (Correspondency belwiit Ihe Parllam' and army, that
■oe there may bee noe more dashing in pieces, nor dissolvings of
Ihem, butt such as are regular and according to Ihe estahlished forme
of Governem'. And wee doe assure you, lliat as in what you have
already done in order to these thingea you hnve our hearty and affec-
tionate concurrence, soe our constant purpose and resulntion is here-
after to stand by you and all the people of God, in the mainlenance of

The comissaryes-generall (thus governed in the business of the mna-

that is to saye. ItToe musters of furty-twoe days each, in Humroer.
when Ihe days are long, and five musters of fifly-six dnyes cache for
the rest of the yenre. Of every muster of a Iroope or company, Ibree
rolles are sign'd by y' comissaryes of j* officers, one of w' rolls,
written in parchem', ia carried to the ]>aymnster-geneTall, who there-
uppon audits the aceompt of what is due uppon eache muster to the

debentures for tbe same lo Ihe late Lord Generall, iippon w'''' bee gave
wnrr" to S' Stephen Box to paye (be monies due to Ibem accordingly,
soone after tlie eTcpiration of every muster. One olber of the said
master rolles wns still kept by y' comisSBryea. and the third roll was
kept by y* oflicers of the respective troops, regim*", and eompanyes.

Noe troops or eompanyes removed or changed their quarters but

Upon iitformatJun of diHobedience of inferior officers towards tlieir
Bttperior officers or of soldiers to their officers, or other great offences,
the Lord-Generall gave comini.-isiDns to court- martialls tn exatnin
such offences, and to bring such offenders to Ibeir fryall, and coudigne
punishm', provided thai Ihe same extended not to the taking away of
life or limbe, lesser offences being punisli'd by regimental court-
martiall or cou rt- marl ia lis of the garrissons.

Complaints of creditors of officers or soldiers were usnally referr'd
to their superior officers to examine and compose the differences, or
report tlie cases to the Lo ■.-Gen". After reports lliat the debls were
just, if the debto'' being an officer did not satisfy his creditor by pay-
ment or security within a time limited, the Gen" then left him to Ihe
lave; and if it were llic case uf a privat soldier, Ihe Gen" ordered
his Cap" to discharge him, and lo entertain another into his place.
In the orders leaveiog officers to the lawe, there was a restriction that
their persons should not bee arrested.

Whensoever his Ma'' gave order for the raiseing ofauy forces, and
bad given commissions lo the officers, the Gencrall gave orders to
them for the raiaeing of their men by beate of drum for the armeing,
quartering, and for the mustering of eachc troope and company, (as
•oone as lialfe Ihe numbers established for them should bee brought
to bee mustered,) and likewise for Ihe paying of them from Ihe day of
their first muster (as soone as conveniently might be) to the day of the
then next generall muster of the forces, tliat all the musters might
come nee together.

When his Ma'' gave orders for Ihe disbanding or reducing of any of
the forces, the Generall sent ord' to the troopes, regim**, or com-
panyes, for the disbanding or reducing of them accordingly, (by a day
limited in the ord", from which lime their paye is determined,) and
for the delivering upp of Iheir armes into his Maj"" stoares, and send-

■■ My Lord,—! have received your L"" of the C"" & 9'\ The King
" doth not think Gtl to make any alterations in the commissions of the
*■ officers of the Guards, but they must stand as they now are
" to content themselves with a precedency before all others of the

" niun that they should always march in the center of the brigade

*' Bruxells, the King is pleased to consider their extraordinary
** charge in that place as your D^ represents it, & would have
'* an account kept of those that have done duty their, to whome there
** will bee somethiog ordered as a gratuity. Yo*^ Lpp will likewise
*' order exact account to be kept of what is due for bread more
'' then the styver p^ diem ordered to bee stopt, from the time of the
** first delivery to the time you had notice to make the deduction
*' according to the contract, which overplus the King will have payd
*' by easy deductions from the sould** when they are out of the field
*' and have noe bread furnished them ; and in making up the said ac-
*' count it is to be remembered, the bread given att first was onely rye-
** bread for some days, and was to be payd for att the Hollanders'
*' price, which is I suppose less then a styver a ration. I don't think
*' necessary to make any order concerning the payment of the subal-
'* terns sooner then the end of the muster, but the paymaster being
'' allways w*^ the troops and the treasure with him, it can bee noe in-
" conveniency to him to assist some times an officer with the advance

the Kiug of Porlugnll's assistance there be traiisporled from Irelaud
to Lisbon 1500 recruits, and one reg' of Foot and one reg' of Dra-
goons, and from Fngland one balalllon of the Foot Guards, to consist
of COO men, and officers proportionable ; these last are ordered to be
ready by the 26lb iuslaut, and are designed lo go by the way of Ire-
land, and take the troops from thence under one convoy. The Lords
liave still under their consideralton the sending of one thousand
English horse of about 14 bands high, they being judged Sliest for
that service, and very mndi wanted ; but considering that the trans-
ports are with S' Geo. Rooke at a great charge, and Ibat it will bo
dilScnlt to procure other ships for this transport, and that it will cost
her Ma'' about J^' lib., for which there is no provision by the Par-
liament, I believe the Lords will rather incline lo advise her Ma*i to
try to procure borses from Barbary ; at least there will be no poailive
orders for sending any horses from hence, till il is known what can ba
bad from Barbary. According to the liberty your Grace has given
me, I shall trouble jou now with a word out of my province. There
is great reasuu lu fear the Uuke of Savoy will be lost, if notbtng can
be doue for bis assistance, or lo divert the enemy in Italy ; and in

;e ofyour success in bringing over ilavarin by force or treaty, it ia
apprehended the Entperor may press for nasLstauce in Hungary against
the malecontents. Your Grace is the best judge what measures to
take in that case, but your gooduess will pardon my own private
thoughts, wliich are well meant, and with all submission; and they
are, that nothing should divert your Grace from ibe Ihoughls

of the Coil federates, and the Portugal expedition was undertaken fur
aetliog the Emperor's son on the throne of Spaine. when al the same
time her Ma'' has neither ships nor land forces in or near lier own
dominions, or can have them upon any emergency ; all which being
considered, her Ma"" has a right to direct in the councills for the ope-
rations of the campagne, and it seema most resonable and fiti that Ihc
Emperor should comply with any proposalls your Grace should make
for the service of the whole confederacy. It is pitty your Grace's
glorious success should be any ways chequed, and there is no service
in view that seems to be equivalent (o the driving the French troops
out of Italy, except that of clearing Bavaria of them, which we hope
will speedily be the consequence of your victory of Donawert. I am,

Report o

APPKNDIX.

the FropeediiiRS of a Commillrc of Gcnernl Officers ap-
pointed by tlje Bonrd, the I5tli June, 1784.

consequence of his Majesty's reference to tbe
Bonrd of General OfGuers. bare lakcD Ibe present method or accou-
tring the Infantry into their consideration, and have agreed to present
tbe following observations.

In tbe Qrst place, the Ordnance cartridge-box nt present in use hu
been found to be exceedingly inconvenient ; it is therefore submitted
that it be laid aside, and a tin magazine in a slight leathern
case, of the same price, (2i. 6d.) substituted in its place ; but the
committee conceive the expense of this article will not fall on tb«
Colonel, on a presumption thai it will be furnisbed by the Ordnance,
in exchange for tbe present cartridge -box.

The powder-horns and bullet-bags of the Light Infantry, the com-
mittee is informed, were never used during the last war ; it is there-
fore proposed to lay them aside.

The committee farther observe, that the matches and match-cases
of tbe Grenadiers are become obsolete ; also the Grenadiers' snordg
nere never worn during the last war ; it is therefore Bubmitted that
these articles be nlso laid aside.

Presuming these alterations may be approved of, the commtttea
proposes that the following plan be adopted on any future delivery of
a new set of accoutrements.

The committee is of opinion, that the whole ballalinn shonld be ac-
coutred alike, with tbe addition of two articles for the Light Infantrj,
viz. the hatchet and priming-horn, and that it will be a great relief
and convenience to the soldier, as well as lend greatly to the good ap-
pearance of tbe baltnlion, to ivear the shoulder-belts of equal brcMlth,
and have tbe ammunition (which is to consist of 06 rounds) divided lO
that he may be enabled to carry the pouch on the right side and the
magazine on the left.

Il is therefore proposed that -the pouch be made as follows, vik.
to hold 32 cartridges, 20 of which are to be in an upper tin box with
fire divisions, each containing 4 cartridges placed upright ; the other
12 are to be slowed horizontally in a tin box underneath, with divi-
sious made in it so as to fit the length of the cartridges.

The flap of the pouch to be plain, without any ornament, and tba
bottom part of it to be rounded at the corners.

The magnzine to be carried occasionally, to contain S4 cartridges in
a tin box of the length of two cartridges, with a partition in the mid-
dle, and of sufficient depth to contain 12 on each side, stowed horison-
tally i this magazine is fixed to the bayonet belt in such

of bath ofthem to be two iniJiea ; the tiayonet carriage to slip qd oni]
off the belt, with two loopa.

The hatchet, and a small priming-horn, to hold about two ounces of
powder, are coDsidered as necessary appoinltncnls for the Light In-
laolty : but. being at preieni improperly fixed to the accoutrements,
may be carried either with the knapsack, or in such other manner as
the commanding officer shall think most convenient.

Pattern poucliea and belts made according to the above direclions
may be deposited at the Clothing Board.

The committee, on conferring with diflerent accoutrement makers,
are satisGed. that provided the Ordnance rurnishea the magazines, Ihia
alteration will not be attended with any increase of expense to the
colonel.

On considering every part of the appointments of a soldier, the com-
mittee laments that a leathern cap, worn by some of the Light Infantry
last war, bad not been shown to the Board, and is induced, from
the report of officers who have tried it, strongly to recommend it as
most comfortable to the soldier, and considerably less expensive than
the cap which was approved of.

The committee is likewise of opinion, that the black linen gaiter at
present in use is extremely inconvenient and prejudicial to the soldier ;
and earnestly propose a black woollen cloth gailer, with white metal
buttons, without stiff tops, in its place.

pense, as the officers of the Life Guards are also to be provided with

In 17S3, (he anifonn of the Coldstream iras a cocked hat, with the

the light infantry companies round lials. with bear-akin over the top
in the form of a helmet ; the light companies wore short coals, white

the remainder of the regiment long coats, white waistcoats, breeches,

Ailjiilanl-Gcneral's Office, Isl February, 1796.

Sir, — I have the honor to arqnninl you. for the information of the
Clothing Board, that his Majesty has signified his royal pleasure, that
the following alterations ahall take place in the future clothings of the
infantry of the line, viz.

The lappeU are to he continued as at present, down to the waisi ;
but to be made so as either to button over occasionally, or to clasp
close with hooks and eyes all the way down to the bottom.

The cape is to stand up, instead of lying down, according to former
re^Iatious ; an opening is to be left at the flap, on the outside of the
pocket, so as to admit the baud into it, when the lappels are buttoned
over. The pocket 6aps of the light infantry companies are to he made
oblique, or slashed, and the wings on the shoulders of the grenadier
coats also are to remain ns at present.

No alteration is to lake place in the breadth of Ihc lappets or cu&s
of the sleeves, nor in the colours to the facings, or patterns of the
laces, as worn by the different regiments according to bis Majesty's
former regulations.

For the further information of the Clothing Board, I send herewith
two pattern coats, one for the battalion soldier, and one for the light
infantry, made up according to bis Majesty's orders as above, and to
be deposited in the Office of the Army Comptrollers.

I am, 8(c. Wm. Fawcbtt,

About 179.5 or 6, short coals for the men were adopted in lieu of
long coats, universally. The cocked hat continued, with the exception
of the grenadier and light iiifantry companies, up to 1800.

In I8UI, cocked hats were discontinued, and a cap issued instead.

Tbe cap was also substituted for tbe bnt by the light companies. Dp
10 1831, caps have been worn by lUe battalion and ligbt infantry, of

The sbort coal, mth the exception of the light companies, (who
wore them till 1831,) was discODtinaed in 1B20, when long ones were
given. The white waistcoat, breeches, long blact gaiters and shoea
were still worn.

1823. Dark grey trowscrs and laced half-boots were delivered in
Ilea of the white breeches, long black gaiters, and shoes. Feathers
were worn by tbe regiment from 171)3 to 1820. Tbe grenadier com-
panies had while, the light infantry green. Battalion companies were
of various patterns during th»t lime.

Since 1820, the regiment has worn liair plumes ; grenadiers white,
light infantry green ; battalion companies white with red at the bottom i
after that period nil white.

In 1832, his Majesty ordered the regiment entire to wear beu-
skin caps with red feathers on the right side, and all diatinctioD >■
dress between tbe battalion and flank companies ceased.

From the following list of the non-com mission officers who have
been promoted and appointed to commissions for their good conduct in
the regiment, it is evideut that the well-known habits of discipline
that distinguish the non-commissioned officers of the Foot Guards has
not been overlooked. Tbe perfect discipline which tbe Foot Guards
have attained, the precision of their evolutions, and tbe admirable
state of the dress and equipments of the men, have frequently called
forth the approbation of foreigners. The non-commisiioned officers or
the Guards appear superior in their particular department to those of
other nations. In France they may have equal or greater quickness,
and are capable of being at once advanced to a higher grade. Tb«
German and Russian nou'commissioned officers may be equally good
disciplinikrians, and may attend with as much care to the comforts and
management of the soldier; but every thing taken into uonsideratioii
it may be Siiid, without evincing an undue degree of partiality, that
the Serjeants and corporals of our Foot Guards unite in their conduct
and regimental arrangement the good qualities of the French, the Rns-
sian, and the German.

Mr. Alexander Hogg, Serjeant-Major and Deputy-Marshal in the
Second regiment of Foot Guards, appointed Fort-Major and Adjutant
of the garrison of Jersey, April, 1750.

The Non-commissioned Oflicers' Fund was instituted some years

aeription was four-pence, a corporal's Iwo-pence per treek : the b«ne-
fils were pensions for life afler discharge, varying according to length
of serrice ; and a snio of moncj to the family on decease in (he
regiment. In June 1807, Ihe rates of stoppnges and pensions nere
augmented. In 1810, the Amount of stoppages and other small allon-
ancea to the fund was augmented, to enable it to meet the increased
demands of Ihe pensioners, caused by reductions ofler (he peace of
18H. In November, 1824, Ihe general committee found the pensions
granted too great for the stoppages. Therefore, after fi\ing annuities
for the existing pensioners, Ibey nbulisbed the pension system. In
lieu of which, they agreed to repay to each snbscriber, on discharge,
promotion, transfer to another corps, or to his nidow, children, or
next of Lin, the whole amount of his cootributions, with interest. The
amended system was enrolled at the Sessions.

1783, by the following officers of the Coldstream.
John Edward Freemantle.
Thomas B. Bosville.

The rules agreed on were, " That the Club should dine together
once a month till the King's birth-day, (Juue 4th,) then adjourn till

dine together monthly till the King's birth-day, and then adjourn
till the next year. The dinner to be provided at five shillings a head,
and to be on table at live o'clock, and tbe bill broDght up at nine."
Each member was to pay, at the beginning of the year, his subscrip-
tion to the treasurer, who was to be elected annually.

The number of members to be yiwrtem. elected by a ballot of at
least six members ; one black ball to exclude -, and unless the whole
Club were present, the candidate was not eligible, until be had been
proposed one month. Any member " entering the holy slate of ma-
trimony" was to give a dinner.

The following are extracts from rules which v
subsequently etiacled. In June, 1807, it was agreed t
uniform, a dark blue coat, with ten silver engraved buttons, placed
two and two, on each lapel ; at top of the skirt, two buttons, with
worked button-holes, and on each pocket-Hap four buttons, two and
two, white kerseymere waistcoat, and black breeches.

A member not appearing at tbe meetings dressed in strict conformity
with this regulation, is lined a guinea.

■■ That the dinner »haU be ordered at fifteen ihillings ■ h«ad."
" That a certain rule, passed 27Ih June, 1814. H. H. H. the Duke
" of Cambridge in the chair, be revived, and that the a^nt do open

" (the agent) be directed to pay the lubscriplio

" 16*. for each of the three yearly dinners, on (he order of the
" presidents of the tnectinga. That the company present on each
" club-day shall determine upon the tavern at which Ibey will next

" That members ihsll be balloted for, and by

" That the rule respecting the wedding di

" That the uniform henceforth be a bine coat, with silver, or

" silver plated buttons of the Nulli Secundus Clnb pattern, with

' black velvet collar; fancy waistcoat; black trowsers, panlaloons,

' or breeches. That the fine of one guinea be required from a

mproperly dressed, as heretofore."

" That married members he reckoned honorary, have a vote, and

mpled from the fine for absence from

" for the eleclioa ofa new member."

" That a married member who shall omit to notify to f he tavero-
" keeper, two days at least before a meeting, whether he wlU or will
" not dine there, be fined a guinea."

" That a married man, three years in the Coldstream, and one year
" a candidate, may be elected honorary member by ballot.''

" That the number of the members (which by a vote of 1S2S had
" been increased to twenty-three) shall be fixed as in 1783, to
" fonrteen."

" That all absentees be fined a guinea (as heretofore). Id be de-
" dneted from the bill; King's leave, and military duty alone ex -
'* empling."

" That members shall take the chair in turn, according to the
" Ireasurer'a list ; and that failing to do so, or to get a substitute, the
" defaulter shall be fined one guinea in addition to the fine for
" absence."

" That a member on quilting the Coldstream
"member; but hia company on club-days will be considered

" That all candidates, who hare left the regiment
" meeting, three years ago, but for whose election

' ' that tbe Club requests the plensiire of their company nt tbeir ineet-

" ings : for inasmuch ae these genllemen would have been balloted

1 " for, if the Club had met regularly, according to their rules in 1825,

*' 1926, 18-W, they are considered in the light of members of the

" NuUi, who have quitted the Coldstream."

From the period of his Majesty's accession to tbe throne, King

WilUam IVlh has been graciously pleased to confer on the Club

Throughout the Army, the CoUoneU, Lieuteoaot-CoUonels, and
Majors, are also paid as Captains. And they, as well as all other
commission officers, have addiconall pay for their servants ;* of which
the Establishments take no notice.

* Extract from " Instructions to the Commissary-General of Musters," dated
Whitehall, 4th December, 1660.
Article 4. " That no Captain shall muster above two servants, a Lieutenant
*< but one, and an Ensign but one, and those serviceable, and none elae any.'*
VOL. II. 2 C

390 APPENDIX.

Id respect to the number of private men, viz. The Establishment
setts forth, the whole number of private men to be 1120: whereas, in
truth, as appears by this state, there is but 1046 effective men ; the re-
maining 74 being only a fictitious number, and their pay amounting to
£1125. St. 4d, per annum, distributed amongst the officers, as is par-
ticularly herein sett downe.

By which method there is in the whole army 5747 private men lesse ;
and their pay, amounting to £107,545. 10«. lOd. per annum, the officers
receive amongst them over and above their own personall pay.

MS. Harleian. No. 1306. Brit Mus.

Extract from a King's Warrant, dated Whitehall, 10th November, 1677.
The pay of men under fictitious names as servants to officers to be discon-
tinued ; and in future the Colonels of the two regiments of Foot Guards to be
allowed to muster six servants a-piece, the Captains three a-piece, and the
Lieutenants and Ensigns one soldier a-piece as servants, the Qaarter-Masters
one servant in the Coloners company, or other company he appoints.

Extract from a Letter, dated Whitehall, 23rd February, 1679.
All servants are to appear at muster in proper arms, &c.

Extract from Report of a Committee of the House of Commons, 1746.
1699. Three servants from each company of Foot deducted, which had been

esteemed part of their personal pay. ^Till about the end of James's reign,

officers' servants were obliged to appear at musters in the ranks, clothed and
accoutred.

406 APPESDIX.

A fiirtlier deduction of one dai's gross pay annually, called
Hospital Money, was likewise miide, under a wnrratil of I7lh June,
1684. These contributions were made applicable to tlie maiatenance
of CUelsea Hospital, and appropriated to other military and civil
disbursements on acuoiinl of Tlie ariuy.

The gross pay was likewise snbject, from the earliest date, to n
dednction of 2ii. in the pound, as an allowance to the regimental agent*

When the accounts of a regiment were cleared, deductions for Ihe
poundage and hospital were made by the Paymaster-General from tbe
arrears in his hands ; the balance was issued to llie HgenI, who, after
deducting his agency, paid the residue to the officers, under the title

Soldiers. — The pny of the non-commissioned officers and priratea
was liable to the like deductions, and was divided into subsistence and
off- reckonings.

The subsistence was issned net periodically, but the off-reckoningm
were reserved, and applied to the following purposes.

First. — The pounda|;e and hospilal money on the gross pay were
deducted by the Pay master- General, in the same manner, and for tiis
■ame objects aa from the arrears of Ihe olTicers.

Secondly. — One halfpenny per week was reserved by the rep-'
mental agent for the Surgeon as medicine-money.

Thirdly. — One halfpenny per week was also reserved for the offieafi
acting OS Paymaster.

Fourthly. — Two-pence in the pound on the gross pay was retained
by the agent as his allowance, and the residue, being tfae net off-reckon-
ings, became the property of the Colonel ; out of which he was bound
10 provide clothing, under his M^esty's regulallous, framed from
time to lime by boards of general officers.

In the cavalry was included, as a component part of the pay of
every officer and man, an allowance of 9d. per diem, being for the
subsistence of his horse ; which Sd. was subject to similar deductions

L of poundage, hospital and agency, and also to a further deduction of
one halfpenny per diem, lo cover the cost of shoeing, &.c.
The pay of the man and horse was, until 1763, subject likewise to ■
deduction nf one penny per diem, as an allowance lo the ridin£>
master for Ihe period during which Ihe horses were at grass : which
period varied from sixteen to twenty weeks in each year. For tbf
purpose of defraying the recruiting and other charges, the pay of it.
lixed number of men, termed " non-effective men,'' was included IB
the numbers borne on the establishment of each corps ; the charge for
which non-effectives was admitted in the accounts of each troop of
company.
From the ffrst Parliamentary sanction of a standing army in Eng-
land, in 1689, to the year 1771, the only alterations made in the pay of
the several ranks of officers and men of the army, and in the allpvp
ancea borne upon the regimental establishments, were—

if his Majesty should think fit to grant the prayer of the petition.

The increase was not. however, extended to those rankj.

Secondly. — The grant of an allowance in 1713 and 1714, varying
from 8i/. to 4(. Gd. a ilay, in addition to the pay of the officers, in lien
of non-eflecti*e but paid soldier servants, who thenceforward either
became effectJTf*, or ceased to be borne on the establishment. This
allowance was not extended to Quarter- Masters of Infaiilry until 1718.
Thirdly,— In 171rt, the following allowances were first borne on the
establishment of each regiment of Cavalry and Infiintry. viz. the
pay of two warmnt-men in etery Iroop or company for the widows
of officers.

Queen Anne, in 1707, directed (Warrants, dated 61h January,
170}. and 23rd Aug*, 170B), that two men per Iroop ur company
should be kept non-effective iu every regiment then serving in Spain,
and their pny applied to the payment of pensions to tlie widows of the
officers killed at the battle of Almanxa. A board of General Officers,
held at Whitehall in 1712, recommended in their report of the I6th
October, that this practice should he adopted in every regiment, in
order that a fund might thereby be created, for the purpose of allow-
ing, under bis Majesty's regulations, pensions to the widows of officers
of the army generally.

This was acceded to; but in 1718, (Warmnts, dated 9th April, 1717,
and 15th May, 1717,) the practice of keeping two men of the esta-
blishment of each troop and company non-effective, was discontinued ;
but an allowance fur this object, equivalent to such pay, was thence-
forward borne on the rrgimeiilal establishment, which continard until

t laken i'ur Hie diargp of auclll

ivery Iroop or compm

1783, when a diiliiict volt
pensions.

1718— The pay of one warrant-man in
the Coloneli for clothing lost by deserters.

This continues to the present day ; bntby the clothing
the Wth May, 1827, was increased from 6d. to li. for eac
man to the Colonel of every Infantry regiment, in consequence of an
arrangement then adopted for the discontinuance uf his former allifw*
ance of off-reckonings for certain dclitious rankii. and of his conlribi
tion in aid of the expense of great-coats.

1718. — The pay of one warrant or contingeut man per troop
company to the Captain.

This allowance was for the purpose of covering the expenses
losses which the Captains of troops or companies might incar
bnriaU of deceased soldiers, by men dying in their debt, and by deoer-
lions, &c. : and the present contingent allowance, which varii
cording to the number of privates borne on the establishment of each
troop or company, has been anbstituled for the pay of the warrant-
man since Mr. Burke's Act of I7B3.

1716. — The pay of one warrant-man per troop or company
agent. I

This continues to the present time, except that in the Cavalry
charge was rcilnced from 2(. to If. Gd, per diem for each
man. when the subsistence of the horse was diacontinued as
on the regimental establishment in 1810.

The warrant of the l.'^Ih July, 1717. under which these allawaacc*
lo the Colonels, Captains, and agents, were first borne upon the e*-
tablishment of every regiment in 1718, shows that they were sabsti-
luted in each case for the pay of a certain number of non^effectiTe
men, whose pay had previously been provided on the establislimenl
for similar purposes, and that the change took place with the sol*
view of making the nominal numbers of the establishment more neMrly
correspond with the actual effectives.

Fourthly. — In 1721, an addition' of .'W. per diem to the pay of th«
Serjeants, corporals, drummers, and privates of Dragoons in Grwat
Britain, to commence from the 2&th December, 1720, " as a bcnafit
" lo the landlords, to prevent the frequent complaints made by tiuMi
" of the great burthen the Dragoons had always been to them. Tli«

In 1727 aa increase ' of 4d. per diem to Ihe pay of Ihe serjeaols,
and SU. per dietn to the pay of tbe corporals of the Foot Gunrds.

In 1771, by a regulation doted in May, tbe dedactions for pound-
age and bospital money from the pay of llie non-commiMioiied oflicerB
and privales of Ihe regular Cavalry and Infantry, were ordered tu be
continued by the Paynasler-General. bnt the amount thereof waa
directed to be returned to Ihem under tbe name of Necessary Money.
Tbii regulation, although it mnde nn addition to the income of the
•oldier. did not in any degree atTect the establishment of the regi-
ment, as it only reduced the amount of saving tu the public, by (he
amount of the deduetioD of poundage and hospital money returned to
Ihe soldier.

By the Pay-OAice Act of 17^, commonly oiled Mr. Burke's Act,
((Wm llie enactments of nhicb, however, the Household Troops * were
excepted,) it was directed, that Ihu dedactions for poundage nnd hoa-
pilal should be discontinued, and tbe net residue of tbe pay of the
officer should be borne on the regimental establishment, and that the
pay only of the non-commissioned officers and men. exclusive of tbe
off-reckonings before explained, shonid likewise be home on the re-
gimental establishment. That the pay of non-effective men provided
for the purpose of recruiting each troop or company should cease,
and that in lieu of the emoluments which the captains had formerly
derived out of the fund created hy the' said pay, an allow" of
£20 per annum to each Captain should thenceforth be borne upon
the regimental establishment, (this allowance to each Captain waa so
borne upon the establishment until 1924. when it was discontinued
in regiments of Infantry, and in lieu thereof an addition of l(. 14.
per diem was made to his pay, thereby augmenting it from lOr. Gd.
to IW. 7d. per diem,) under the title of N on -etTec live Allowance ;
and thai the actual expense of recruiting and other contingencies
should be charged in the regimental accounts, and be defrayed by Ihe
public; that tlie pay of the coDtingent men should Ukewise cease,
and that an allowance in lieu thereof, varying according to the
strength of each troop or company borne on the establishment, should
be granted to each Captain, in order to cover his expenses and losses
hy deaths and desertions ; and also, that fixed annual rates, varying
according to tbe strength of Ihe establishment, should be granted to
the surgeon, to tbe officer acting as Paymaster, and in Cavalry
regiments to Ihe riding-master.

< This aiidition wu not liable to the dedaction for poundage and Cbelieu
Hospitil.

* Tbe esubliahmenu of the Life Guards and Honte Gunrds for tbe year IB3I
have been prepsied upon the sime principle as other regiments of cavalry,
and are in future la come under iba eoaclmenla of the Act of I7IU.

The establisbmeiil, as relbrmcd in 17»3, coalioiied uilhoiil Btti-nt-
tion until 1797, the fDllowing allDwances. which wt^re j^ranleii in Ihc
ialerval, not having sflecled llie regimeDtal establishments.

In 1793 a further altowRnce was made to Ihe non-commiisiooed
oHicers and men, called a new allowance for uecessnrics; nnd in (he
same year an additional allowance of lid- per diem, called Bread
Money, was also granted to Ibcm on home-service.

Jn 1795 the several allowances of old necessary money, (KTanted in
1771. as before explained.) and new necessary money and bread
money, (granted in 1792,) were consolidated, nnil fixed at 2jrf. per
diem for each man; and by the Secretary -at- War's leiler of 1st
May, 1795, a further allowance was granted to llic non-com mission ril
officers and men, to cover tbe eitra price of bread and meat. The
extra price of bread was, in that year, about 1«/. per diem, and of
meat about {it. per diem per man.

Thus tho private of infantry received aa pay tW. per diem, and
allowances 4rf. per diem, out of which be was liable to a deducti
the cost of bis mess, not exceeding 3t. per week, or 5id. per dii

In 1797 these allowances, having been found iusufScieut, were in-
creased by an addition o(2ii. per diem ; and the whole, so consoli-
dated and augmented, were added to the pay of Gd., and from thU
period borne on the cslablisbment of the regiment at It. per diem, as
the personal pay of the soldier ; hut at the saioe time the stoppage for
his mess was increased from a sum not exceeding 3i. per week to a.
sum not exceeding 4», per week, or fifrf, per diem, on •' hom^
service," and he was made liable to a stoppage on " foreign sen
of 6rf. per diem, when supplied with rations at the public expense,
of 3id. per diem whun not so supplied.

In 1797, the distinction which had so long exiHti^d between snb-
•Lstence and arrears was discontinued for the officers of the army,
(except in the Life Guards,' Horse Guards, and Foot Guards,) upon
the appointment of a Commissioned Paymaster, instead of an acting
one for every regiment, nnd the adoption of a new system of regi-
mental accounts. The daily pay of the Field-Officers and Capt^iins
wns simplified by excluding the minute fractions into which it had un-
avoidably been divided, in consequence of the former deductions
from their gross pay ; and the pay of the subalterns was increased
by discontinuing the deductions for poundage and hospital. A further
increase of U. per diem was also granted to subalterns of infantry not
holding another commission.

In 1800, the small-beer, which had previously boon supplied in
kind to the soldier on home service, when in barrack*, or billeted iu
settled quarters, wns discontinued, and a contingent slluwance of ]iL

u lh« Life Guiuda und II

per diera, id lieu thereor, waa granted i but he was then mndu liable
tu a stoppage for bit mess, not exceeding 4x. 7d. a neck, or 7^d. per
iliem.

In 1803, llie Field-Officers ceased to hold troops or conipaniea, and
additional Cnptains nere appointed to those troops or companies ; hut
llie non-eflective allowance of £20 per Biinum was cimlinued to each
of the three Field-Officers so removed, and is still allowed to the
Colonel, Lieut, -Co I one], and first Major.

In ltf04,' the medical officers of the army w
footing ; their pay was increased, and they n
lional pay after certain periods of service.

In 1806, the pay of the regimental officers, and of the non-com-
tnissioned officers of infantry generally, was increased; and at the
*arae lime Captains, with the Brevet rank of Field-Officer, were al-
lowed li. a day addilionnl pay ; Lieutenanls of seven years standing
as such, vrere allowed it. a day additional pny ; but the difference
between the former and the increiised pay and allowance was not
in any case to be received by an officer holding more than one milj-
tary commission' or appointment. The privates of the Life Guards
and Royal Horse Guards, and corporals and privates of every other
retciment of Cavalry, were at the saine time allowed additional pay at
Id. per diem after ten years' service, and at 2d. per diem after seven-
teen years' service ; and the corporals and privates of the Foot Guards,
and of every other regiment oflnfantry, were allowed additional pay
at Id. per diem, alter seven years' service, and al 2<^. per diem after
fourteen years' service ; this additional pay, both for Cavalry and
Infantry, alter the second period of service, still exists; but the grant
of additional pay after the first period of service was discontinued
by bis Majesty's Warrant of 24th December, 1822, for all men
enlisted after lhe'26lb January, 18^.

The claims to additional pay, admitted service in the East and West
Indies to reckon in the proportion of two years' service in those
climates, as three years of active service elsewhere.

By bis Majesty's warrant and regulations of the 14th November,
1829, tbia distinction of climate was cancelled, and the claim of 2d.
a day additional pay only commences after seventeen years, and
fourteen years' service actually completed. — War-Office, June, 1830.

* By •ramnCofS^Ui July, 1830, the rates of idditioDal pay of medical officers
were Bssin mite red.

* Bf the Suff Pay Warrant of 30th July, 1030, this distiaction between old
and new rates of regimentBl pay of officera holdiDg slsff. gsniaoD, or otbi^r miti-

Note. — It was the practice, up to the reign of Queen Anne, to grant fresh
commissions to officers who exchanged, or were removed from one company to
another. When a regiment was on foreign service, the Commander of the
Forces filled up all vacancies without the knowledge or control of the Govern-
ment at home : this privilege continned till the Peace in 1748 ; and it is in many
instances become extremely difficult, and frequeutly impossible, to ascertain
the names of the officers appointed abroad, or the dates of their commissions <m
promotion. War-Office, January, 1833.
